Environment and its impact on

When I was a little girl I remember watching science fiction movies. One movie that has never left me is Godzilla and Godzooki. If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, google godzilla. Godzilla and Godzooki were basically two giant size dinosaurs who fought over a woman while throwing the woman around like she was a rag doll. I remember my brothers absolutely loving the show...repeats and all. I, on the other hand, was frightened by the movie. It might seem like a small thing but environment really does have an impact on our personalities and perceptions. When exposed to such things at early ages, children can grow up to be fearful and timid. One way to avoid this is to be mindful of what you allow your children to watch. One interesting experiment is to go without TV for a month. I tried this with my teenage son and the impact was peacefully surprising. We had time for conversations, quiet time and inquisitive family time. It truly was a wonderfully enlightening environment. Go ahead and try it. Let me know your experience and the environment you were able to create for you and your family.
