how much TV do you let your kids watch? I feel guilty when she watches too much

I think she's fine. She's still very young and do have more time to watch TV. I believe watching TV at her age will do more good than harm to her as long as she's watching educational shows. Sesame street teach her the ABC's and Angelina teaches her to dance, Isn't that wonderful!?

I feel the same way because of my kind of business i just allow her to watch TV to let her preoccupy because my hands were tied up to many works.

I don't think that there is anything all that bad with letting your child watch a little bit of television every day, but you should not be using it as a babysitter. I think it is important to make sure that you're communicating with your child, as this is the way that they're going to be able to learn and develop themselves. If you need an hour to yourself to be able to do work around the house, and this is the only way that your daughter will keep quiet, then that is another thing entirely and I honestly don't think that there is anything wrong with that. It is all about the balance, and an hour a day isn't going to hurt.

i think you have to limit her exposure to television. it's not healthy. young toddlers have to develop other motor and mental skills with activities other than tv watching. we did limit our children when they were young.

Children are habituated to watch TV programs as they fully indulge or involve when they are watching the cene. So, it is good upto a certain extent to given chances, but of course, for a long day time and very long time by watching the TV is not advisable. If the child is so addicted to it, you need to divert them with still better options and make them understand the faults or drawback in watching the TV for a long time. Also, ask the child to priorities and give them a time ragen according to their preference and ask the child to complete watching for the day. Once they listen to you by understanding the fact, they will improve but if we act upon them agressively, they will grow with an avenging or revenging vengence mood, which is not ideal. So, study the child first and divert them with optional advices and options.

Sounds like TV is kept in moderation so it is not too bad and of course it always depends on what is being viewed.

Since I am not very interested in watching TV today. I don't spend long time for it. Perhaps due to it, my son also doesn't watch TV for a long time. He just watches some TV programs about the science and it usually lasts about half an hour. So it is fine. I love China

I think it's fine for a 16 month old to watch tv like that, it helps them to learn things as well. It's not like their sitting there watching things or people being blown up like most kids like to do now. My sister does the same my niece is 9 months old and we always have mickey mouse on or bubble guppies playing so she can watch tv while my sister is trying to get stuff done around the house and what not. Alot of moms worry about how much tv they should allow their kids but if their not sitting there 24/7 watching it then that is fine. I could not sit there and watch tv 24/7 myself it does get a bit boring. So keep doing what you're doing you're fine about the way you handle it, and if someone has something against it, don't listen to them. She is young nothing to worry about.

I wonder how much is this "too much"? Because it sounds like she is playing and doing a lot of other things all day. You need to get things done sometimes so it's fine, you need some time when she is occupied with something else. I think problems start when people don't mind what their children are doing, don't keep an eye on what they are watching and don't think about other activities apart from tv.

My 26 months son also loves watching tv. Actually we started letting him watch tv when he was still less than 1 yr old. BUT we see to it that he will only watch Disney Junior channel. Shows in Disney Junion are good for toddlers because they are interactive but non-violent. The advantage I got form my son watching those is that it is where he learns to speak english. We do use our own dialect at home and at times mix english words. But by watching tv, he learns sentences, questions said in english. He also loves watching educational videos like Brainy Babies, Galloping Minds, and the likes. He can now read alphabets, numbers, and knows the name of the colors, animals, etc.
