Child Development:
Watch television with your children. Discuss the different issues raised and ask your child questions about what's going on. If one person is lied to or cheated, ask your kid how they think that would make them feel. This is a great way to explore and teach morality issues to your child without preaching to them.

Decorating Idea:
Rather than turning TVs and stereo components into focal points, hide them. There are many different style cabine ts designed for this purpose. You can even build specially designed speakers into your walls (place them behind w ood studs) then paint them to blend with your wall to make them "disappear."
