how many hours do you let your child watch t.v in a day?my son loves to watch t.v and he starts watch from the minute he wakes up until the minute he goes to bed. tried to switch it off, but he just cry and screams.wonder if you limited your child's t.v time.
how old is your child?? Watching too much too tv is not good for sure. First, not good to his eye sight, secondly, he just not bother to think and explore.
I let my children watch tv only for those kids program, and VCD / DVD that suitable for them. To keep them away from the tv, I will give them some other activities, such as, going out (shopping / for a walk / playground), story time (read them story books, song times (sing songs together), drawing time, or even play toys with them. There are lots of things that you can do with him other than watching TV. By the way, I must admit that TV does play a very important role when I'm cooking or doing something important !! :mrgreen:
I agree with JimVan. I don't let my child (she's now 17 month old) watch TV. Only play her VCD/DVD for not longer than half hour in a time. She doesn't mind we turn off the TV when it's time up, since she knows the time is up...
I only allow my son watch 1 VCD/video tape per day. I make this a rule, sometimes he ask for more, I just tell him that his quota is full that day.
But then, my hubby and I seldom watch TV, we only watch the documentaries once in a while, or my hubby will watch TV after my son sleeps.
Maybe your child is a visual and auditory learner, that is he learns by seeing and listening. If you have time, read books to him instead, or let him read books with tape. Or bring him out to the park or playground, there must be plenty of things for him to see.
My son will ask for TV if he is bored at home or sleepy.
Since I am a working mom, on weeknights, I rather play with my 4 ½ months old baby. On weekends, sometimes I play Baby Einstein’s DVD’s. My son is very excited watching these and his favorite is Baby Neptune - talks about different forms of water, creatures found in ocean etc.
Probably you don't want to affect the relation with your mother-in-law by asking her not to turn on the TV all the time.
I would suggest you should probably first devise a timetable of what you want your bb to do in the daytime so that you can discuss with your mother-in-law. If your baby has something to do, your bb would not concentrate on the TV and also if your mother-in-law has something to do with her grandchild, she probably enjoy it and would not need to switch on the TV all the time.
It is really a headache! I can now appreciate your worries. In a long term, it may be a problem. So it is best to start off trying to set up a timetable anyway and start bargaining. Even if she would not follow totally to the timetable, you may try if she can at least follow a bit as a start and let her knows it it beneficial to the BB.
