Dreamer101 thinks any TV is bad for the kids and you(abubin) think it's ok to watch with moderation. John's kids can watch anything on TV. Now John thinks both of you are 'kiasu' parents.

Like example, drinking coffee is not good for the child..she like coffee but during her pregnancy did not drink a SINGLE DROP. Compared to someone else who drank liquor and smoke during pregnancy and baby came out fine. Even during breastfeeding years, she did not drink any coffee.
If she's willing to do it why not? Who is going to be responsible if something should happen to the baby as a result of drinking coffee? I would give the same advice to her, although some people may boast of having a few cups a day and nothing happened to the baby. It's BEST to avoid. uh oh now I feel the 'kiasuness' in me.

Another example is shaving baby's hair. Normally, a lot of parents shave their baby's hair because those inborn hair are ugly and scarce. I know chinese and indians have the tradition of shaving baby's hair. But this friend heard about other friend's baby hair not growing after shaving until like 3-4 years old. So, she so scared that she refuse to shave the baby's hair despite it look ugly. Looks like those people with hairloss problem. Well, if you research properly, the hair growth is just depends on the baby or toddler itself. It will eventually grow and shaving them or not does not cause it not to grow. But you know...kiasu mom want's THE BEST for the child.
She probably need someone like you to convince her, point her to some reading materials/books/mag or better yet maybe she can ask the doctor on her next visit.
