Basicall...I view tv as an unstimulating babysitter. Basically, from what I've read, kids under 2 can't "learn" anything from t.v. So, when I have him in front of the t.v. to get something done, I just realize that he's not gaining anything from it. Given that he's interacting in a stimulating environment for the rest of the day, I don't feel too bad about the 30-45 mins. or so he watches of PBS a day. It keeps me sane, so that I can be better the rest of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707803433045251633.post-86776067950140207922008-06-27T13:49:00.000-07:002008-06-27T13:49:00.000-07:00I'm probably guilty of letting Kathryn watch a lit...I'm probably guilty of letting Kathryn watch a little more TV than she should, but she's an active toddler. If I don't put on a show while I'm trying to make dinner, she's right under my feet, trying to grab at the pot of boiling water on the stove! And even then, most of the time the TV doesn't keep her attention.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127085664609843425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707803433045251633.post-80164544262544071902008-06-26T15:45:00.000-07:002008-06-26T15:45:00.000-07:00We do limited television, but my theory on people ...We do limited television, but my theory on people doing the "research" is that they are at work, enjoying the peace and quiet, not at home with two kids under four, whining and moaning. They should do a study of parents who don't let their kids watch tv, and how many of them are on medication!! LOL! Everything is alright in moderation! That's my theory!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700755146199141614noreply@blogger.com
