TV Viewing at a Kids' Halloween Party

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here today to show you how to throw a Halloween party for your kids. At times television could be salvation for a stressed out parent and give you a much needed break. Although it's not good having them sit in front of the TV all the time Halloween parties are a place where television does not work. Which is tempting to use television because Halloween parties with lot of children running around can often be stressful. So you may think that "oh, hey I'll just rely on television and everything will be okay", I do not recommend television for Halloween parties. Why is that? Television will act as a big black hole sucking the life out of your Halloween party for your kids, people will sit down and they will turn into there own little zombies in front of it. This happens normally but at a party it really really can spoil the mood if you have any other activities planned automatically your going to have like 5-8 kids saying "no I want to watch the TV" they'll find something on there that they want to watch. Maybe it'll even be Halloween theme for this I basically strongly recommend that you have no television on, if anything try to have the children in areas where there's not any option of turning a TV on. There is no television it's not even there it's not a temptation it's not a fall back it's not part of the party, your party will be more lively and more fun without television."
