[quote=Anonymous]You should find a happy medium that suits you both. I'd just caution that even if you do have a lot of TV, your kids will probably be just fine as long as you're an engaged parent. We are one of those families where there is a lot of TV, for better or worse. We also are huge readers, partially because of our nature and partially because of our careers (academics). We have kids beyond the AAP age and they don't seem to have been impaired as a result of exposure to the news, sports TV and a lot of Nick Jr and PBS Kids. They read ahead of their grade level, do tons of imaginative play, have hobbies and interests, and have zero interest in video games. I'm not attributing any of good qualities to TV, and who knows maybe they would be gifted like every other DCUM child if they hadn't watched so much Deigo. But it's worth noting that you don't have to be a TV absolutist to raise healthy smart kids. THe most important thing is that you and your husband find a way to get on the same page about it.[/quote]
