poliphilo Sej is being raised according to Montessori rules- one of which is no exposure to the moving image before 18 months. I was in disagreement but toed the line.
Well, he's past that marker now.
This morning he was especially cranky so (up yours, Montessori!) I put him on my knee in front of the big computer screen and we watched music vids (Offenbach's Can Can and some nursery rhymes), a Betty Boop cartoon from 1935 (highly moralistic in a way that simply wouldn't fly today) and an episode of Teletubbies.
