Do you let your kids watch tv? How much tv do you let them watch? Some people say tv isn't good for kids so I was just curious as to how much tv you allow your children to watch.

I think you should control the watching time for them,It is not good for them to watch too much.

all of my kids are adults now but when they were little they would watch sesame street in the morning and that was it. I don't think that tv is good for children.

I do let my kids watch tv. I let them watch it in the morning before breakfast, then in the afternoon and for 1 hr before bed. They like playing outside more than watching tv.

I let my son watch tv pretty much whenever he wants to. He doesn't really like to watch tv so i'm lucky.

I let my children watch tv off and on throughout the day. They don't watch too much tv. They would rather read a book or do a puzzle.

some, they get an hour a day. mostly it's videos or video games for my son. and there are times we all watch something together, that doesn't usually count as their hour.
