I think our kids need to "cherish" or at least relish in their childhood as long as possible. If it is natural for a 13 year old to not be out of that training bra, I think that's the way it should be. Growing up, I was the last of my peers to reach puberty and I'm glad--training bras are way more comfy and I got to hold off on the whole period thing. I know girls and boys are all different in when they reach puberty, but if TV is accelerating that pace, turn it off. It's just one more negative thing!
The electronic babysitter has got to go, or at least more moderated. I'm not saying turn the TV off completely...but less than what is going on now.
