My 4 YO is watching WAY too much TV
I am home all day with him and I am pregnant, so it is so easy to let the tv time get way out of hand. I don't even want to admit how much TV he is watching.
I really want to cut WAY back...like a couple times a week at the most. I think TV is a pretty big waste of time and I don;t watch very much of it. It's just that DS is very high energy and wants someone to entertain him constantly. If I put the TV on for him he will let me do whatever I want. It is VERY hard to resist.
We get out and do tons of stuff, but it doesn't seem to help much. When we are home it is non stop asking to watch the TV if it isn't turned on.
Please, I know there have to be other families that have broken this habit. I would like to hear about anything that helped you get out of this horrible rut.
I am worried that when the baby is born it will only get worse...also, I really don;t want to have the baby watching TV...
