Millions of us watch hours and hours of Reality TV. Something draws us to our TV to find out:
Who's going to have break-down?
Who's going home this week?
What's their reaction going to be?
It seems like the more outrageous, out-of-control, extreme behaviors get the most air-time. I often wonder what drives this need for us to watch these "train-wrecks." I don't imagine that any of us would like to see our children, or anyone we care about, in these situations. Maybe it's a need we have to see that someone else is doing worse than we are.
Whatever the reason, the fact remains that examples of Poor Self-regulation appear to get a lot of attention and reinforcement. This presents a formidable challenge to us as parents and professionals who are trying to encourage and model healthy behaviors. We spend a great deal of time and energy trying to discourage responses, like those seen on Reality TV, and encourage healthy responses and social interactions.
In an effort to frame this issue positively, I guess these shows provide us with several examples of "What Not to Do."
