[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it so important to restrict all tv from Sun-Fri?  If a child meets all their responsibilities school and otherwise, why isn't it okay to let them chill with a 30 minute show on demand with no commercials.  Are the parents doing this as well?  I know sometimes I just want to relax and watch a show.

And if you're wondering, mine watch maybe one show a day.  But I just don't see why to totally ban it, and am curious.[/quote]

We restrict it because our kids race through homework and other responsibilities to get to screen-time, which is (obviously) a problem.  We also restrict it because they have lots of obligations that are more important than TV:  practicing musical instruments, chores, religious education, homework, extracurricular activities, sports, playing outside.

Sometimes we will all sit and watch something on TV, if there is time.  But we are not going to put that out there as just another option when there is so much other stuff that matters more.[/quote]
