Arquin's Favorite Cartoon Educational TV Shows!

   As much as i wanted to, i don't want my Youngest child - Arquin who is a Four years old in Nursery learning stage to spend his day just by watching cartoons because as all we know, too much watching of television is not healthy for children, but when my hubby called our local cable provider to add another channel, i said Whaaat? but before we started to argue he said that it was an educational cartoon program for Little Children, so i said Let's see what will be the outcome...

as the weeks passes by i noticed a gradual improvement on my Son's English speaking skills, he may not spoken the straight English conversation but i was amazed when he started to speak some of the common English sentences like "i got it!" - well it's normal for me to be puzzled because i was not really teaching him complex English language regularly and i normally leave him weekdays with his Lola who used to speak a native language at our Home so i'm quite impressed, and lately i noticed that he also learns the basic shapes, Basic numbers and some easy logical learning for preschoolers... so to share to you what's this educational TV shows for children, you may check these Channels:

My Son improves his Science & Math skills as he got exempted for an exam getting a passing rate of 95% in these subjects, but of course we can't always depend on Educational TV shows in terms of Learning, I Believe that Personalized Teaching by Parents is still the Best! We should set a Limit and boundaries for our children.
