addicted to books on tape?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
While we are no longer TV-free, we are still very low TV. DS has the complete Curious George collection on audio CD and I often offer that when he asks for TV. Well--he actually loves it, so much so that he will sit and listen to an hour-long CD (there are two) at a time most days. I certainly wouldn't think it was bad if I was reading this book to him for an hour, but for some reason I feel kind of guilty about the CD. It's different listening to a story than watching it, right? Not as good as having ME read it, but...

He does sit/lie on the couch when he listens. He hasn't been sleeping well lately, though, and in some ways it's good for him to sit and rest.

He absolutely is understanding the stories and talks about them all the time ("This is like in Curious George, when...")

???? Should I relax and embrace using books on tape to replace TV?

I say yes. I'm a BIG FAN of audio books! SO relaxing with a book on tape/CD is fine. We do watch some TV but I always will suggest a book or some other activity first! I want to be as TV free as possible. 

 

I would even say turning on the radio is great too. We have started doing that this summer.
