Children learn more by watching their world around them than words could ever do, even at a very young age. So while Adults must play, these children watching these shows learn by their example although I seriously doubt kids should be watching some of these reality shows, as even I don't watch any of them either. Then once kids see something that looks like harmless fun to them chances are they'll try it too, thus the reason so many shows say, "Don't try this at Home" but tell that to a kid who still thinks life is nothing but games and fun and why ERs are full of injured children, and kids do NOT need to be trying to pull off Adult stupidity!!
