[quote=Anonymous]So DS is 22 mos. We have limited TV to pretty much nothing, but he is a terrible traveler in the car and otherwise, so we often given him a iphone/kindle with Sesame Street clips on it to keep him from screaming. The problem is that although he only sees "Elmo" perhaps once or twice a week, he is obsessed. Anytime he sees our phones he asks for Elmo; yesterday he began rummaging through my bag in search of the phone so he could in turn find Elmo (and crying when no phone was there). It is getting ridiculous. I don't mind a limited amount of TV, and we were planning on allowing an occasional show once DS turned 2, but I don't want to make the situation worse. To stop the whining, etc. should we just cut him off entirely? Or alternatively, see what happens if we allow him as much as he wants? Any advice from others who are pro-limited-screentime?[/quote]
