Okay, this is confusing me. Parents don't want their kids watching TV all day, but they're so happy when they're reading...Um, well, it's just you're basically doing the same thing in each case. Why do parents think that reading develops thinking or reading skills or whatever? TV can do the same thing. It really can. It might even be better for the kids who can't read very well because they'll have an easier time understanding what's happening.
So, yeah, which do you think is better for the mind?

ok it kinda depends on what ur watching vrs. what ur reading but ussually i would have to go with reading just cuz u can get a billion times better story from a book than from a movie (of course there r exeptions to this but for the most part books are better than movies)

Its all about what a child wants really. If a child wants to learn, then they will probably get something good out of either, but if they dont' want to learn (which is most cases) then they aren't going to watch "educationally uplifting" shows. It'll just be something to do. Dont' get me wrong, there are a few shows I like to watch because they are funny as heck. I'm not saying TV is bad, I'm just saying kids usually get more out of reading.
You guys talk about kids that have a hard time reading. Practice makes perfect, I've seen it happen. Just let them start small and if they want to read, they'll get better. It's all about what the child's attitude is really.
And as a side note, your brain is more active when you are sleeping than when you are watching TV.

reading is better of course! because if you watch to much tv you get fat and you brain gets squshee (cnta sepll!) and black so ya. and when you read you get a better vocabulary. thats what i learned in science at least.
