First Thing That They watch is TV

And the thing is they watched TV! My my how unlucky your children are! I'm still 20 and i love being in front of the Television for hours or days together if you would let me to. (DEVIL) How devilish you are? (RASP) (WINK) Okay i would ask my mom and be here in minutes again-to tell you about the: "bad experience between TV and Kids!"

You cut it in two? You are evil! I don't know how old your children are but you could make upsome story about the electricity only beingon for sommany hours. Or thatthe plice willcome and take you away if you let them watch it all day - and who will cook and clean for them if you ar locked up? Or... I don't know because I was lucky. My son believed that the television only worked after 4 p.m.

Television is often a problem, for mothers who have children. I also often have the same problem. My son can not be disturbed, if my son was watching, my son's favorite movies. I tried many different ways, so that my son, not too often, watching television. But, I often fail.

Children are difficult to separate from the television. Especially if you're watching a favorite show. My son, it becomes difficult to be invited to learn, when my son watching television. Today, many show for children that aired, when hours of learning. I am very disturbed about this.

I completely understand where you are coming from. I'm proud of you for what you did! Right now it's more of my husband who does all of that. Where as my daughter is still a little young. But I know I definitely don't want her to be like that. In fact things were so bad with my husband watching the tv all the time and playing the xbox that I don't the tv to a second hand store. I was like six months pregnant at the time and fed up with literally two boxes (x and tv) consuming my husband's every free minute. Right now he's trying to buy another one but I told him I'm not putting up with any crazy ridiculous amount of time on watching it or playing his game.

For me it is not kids doing it here it is adults. I live with my immediate family right now and the brother and mom actually watch it alot per day. They put it on when they wake up to "see what the weather will be", then during the day my mom will put it on for an hour or two at a time every so often again, my brother comes home about 4 p.m. and he will then watch it for at least 1-2 hours, turn it off for a hour or two then watch again for a few hours. It drives me nuts and they're not even kids. He will wake my mom up on purpose just so she watches it with him at night, how wierd is that. My dad should be doing that but he has no interest in TV. My family is so dysfunctional and TV has alot to do with it. It's their life. I use the computer alot but I use it to keep in contact with friends and interact with them, and also make money and play in my digital art. Everyone has their own puter here but there's only one TV so it gets to be a big pain. I can't concentrate in here sometimes with it on as my brother has to have it on loud too due to his "hard of hearing" problem, and it wakes/keeps me up (the TV) at times as they use it right in the next room.If I wanna go to be at 9 I can't as they have to have it on every single night til 10 p.m. no exceptions. Thats not even the half of it, what they eat while watching TV is just plain unhealthy for them as well. Salty popcorn, chocolate, cookies, candy, donuts, you name it. They sometimes don't even shut it off themselves and I have to when they fall asleep with it on. It's just a royal pain in the butt.

I think two of my children watch too much telly, but sometimes I think that is just life, I do made them watch a certain of amount of tv downstairs with me so at least I do get ot see them. As regarding tv in the mornnigs, telly's aren't allowed on before school at all, and only after 10am on school holidays.

I think that, because the television is so easily accessible, it can be far too easy for children to think that this is the only thing that they can do to entertain themselves when they don't have anything else to do at that particular time. You should limit the amount of time that they spend watching it, and make sure that they spend their time outside exercising by playing games instead. Watching television is okay in moderation, but there is nothing good about spending the whole time watching it as they won't be getting enough exercise to keep them at a healthy weight for their height.

hi ifa it is a similar story here with my nephew and their tele. Mom got another set only to watch her favorite soaps but now that too is under the possession of this nephew. I love watching Tele with him - the Toons - specially our favorite Tom and Jerry is still aired and when I am with them, we both really enjoy the Tele. Good that I dont stay with them all the time

I have survived those times when Tv was my first enemy in life . My daughters are slowly grown up now, the little one is turning 8 now. They used to love cartoon network a lot. I gave them option, if they spend more than 30 minutes in front of the TV then I'll not give them money. I always remind them of our agreement and slowly they're on their diet for Tv consuming. I wish you good luck with your kids .

That problem is common in other households as well. The moment they wake up from bed or the moment they open their eyes, the first thing they will do is open the tv. TV addiction is horrible, they must have other source of diversion. Other kids spend a lot of time in computers now than in TV.

Kids will watch tv all day if we let them. It was hard to get my daughter (8 years old) away from it when we are home. So over this past year I figured out how to change all that. I let her pick a hobby that she wanted to do. She chose competition cheer leading. We are at practice two evenings a week and tumbling one evening. So basically we get home from school, do homework, get changed for cheer, go to practice for two hours, get home, eat dinner, take bath, and it's bedtime. No more time for tv. For us is was just about getting her out of the house and away from the tv.

Nice Discussion Friend. Yes it is right that children watch TV all the time whenever you see them they are watching TV. Its a very serious matter about children. TV cause bad effect on them. You have done right by cutting cable into two now you can rest for sometime.

I don"t have a kids yet but based on what I observed kids become lazy because of television. They become more violence because of what they seen in TV. But this things can be avoided through disciplined. You must give only enough time to watch TV. Tell them that they can"t watch TV if their works and assignment is not finish yet.

The tv really ticks me off! My kids have begged and begged to get a tv in their rooms. I just won't do it! They have it on constantly in the house and it's annoying. I have actually yanked the cords out of the vcr/dvd player and wrecked the cable to it basically because they would not go to bed w/o that dang thing playing nor shut it off. I had enough!! I usually try to shoo them outsde so they can enjoy nature and do some creativity of their own imagination not the ideas constantly being presented like on tv to the thoughtless zombies we've become.

That's one way. I'd just tell them to turn it off. End of discussion.

My son is only 2, but already likes TV too much. He will sometimes throw a temper tantrum when his favorite cartoon goes off. Lucky, right now he's young enough to not be able to turn the TV back on, but one day he will be. I know some kids turn into virtual zombies around televisions. I hope to teach my son that going outside and playing is TONS more fun than sitting in front of a box all day.

Hey ifa, I wounder why you are doing such actions at your children. Even if they are too naughty you must cop up with them because it's your child and you must correct. You must teach them how to watch TV without harming others. Instead on doing such rude things why can't tell them with love. I think this will help you a lot.
