Don't let the TV be one of the toy. Don't let you BB become a 電視嬰兒
We affix a timer 蘇頭 to the TV. Form 10:00 to 17:00 there's no TV show. They can play, read, listen to CD. From 17:00 and until dinner time are their time for TV. We set this up since they are babies.
As some mama said, you should let the BB knows when is the correct time to have TV.不要因他哭就讓步

1. The whole family set the rules together with agreement, for examples only 2 hrs per day, or he can select any 2 or 3 programs per day. To be fair, also set the similar rules for yourself or adults at home.
2. The rules must be clear and possible to be followed.
3. Everybody in the family must follow the rules.
4. Set penalties for not following the rules. For example, cut the TV channel or no TV watching on the next day.
5. Strictly follow the rules and penalties.
Everytime, before times out or switching off the TV, you have to give him 5 - 10 minutes notice. Tell him that when the program is end, he has to switch off the TV or it's going to be your turn. You can remind him 3 times, the most.
You have to stand for your rules. At last, if he refuses to cooperate, you have to be STRICT and switch off the TV immediately and just let him cry.
A further punishment is he will have no TV in the next day.
After few times, he will learn that if he don't keep the promise (follow the rules) no matter how loud he cry, he will never get what he wants.
