Little kids
Most little kids these days want to be someone they see on tv. Ever notice that? If you have a family as large as mine, you will surely notice that a lot. We have little cousins who want to be NFL players with their NFL Jerseys always on them. The little girls want to be Disney stars. Just the other night we watched Camp Rock, the Disney movie starring the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato. The adults were laughing because Anika liked Demi so much she is imitating her way of singing. And some of the little kids love the Jonas Brothers. Imagine 3-6 year old kids knowing so much about those teen stars. Anika, who is turning 3 next month, can even recognize the High School Musical stars. She just loves Disney movies so much.
But the boys, you can see their fierce desire to be rock stars and football players… and to be David Beckham! Beckham they know by heart! The power of television. If adults are veering away from tv and now more into new media like blogging, the kids are still stuck to tv. And with the Hanna Montana fever a few months ago, I doubt it will die down soon.
