[quote=Anonymous]Yes! We used to do TV every morning, and then we shifted it to TV only on the weekends. We just flat out told Deedee that it was too much TV and it wasn't good for her brain. Once DD became a reader, she spent a lot more weekend mornings reading instead of watching TV. We also bundle her TV time into full-length movies instead of more frequent, shorter bouts of television. PP is right that some kind of cold turkey approach is what you need. You can also set up a system of earning TV time through good behavior, and then let your child cash in that time on the weekend. [/quote]
