[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I think you'll end up having to move your DC, but it's worth a shot before you do....I'd say to your provider that you've noticed that the TV seems on pretty frequently and you're not happy with that- you would like to see it revert to the the policy you were told when you started - a 1/2 hr on Fridays (or whatever it was).  It may help if you know a few of the other parents so it's not just you complaining but others too - I cant imagine any parent thinks that is just hunky dory.[/quote]

[b]Seriously, i think it is a crock those parents who come in and complain about the tv being on. And those who claim to never watch tv while their child is awake. etc etc etc. I grew up with a tv, my kids, my grandkids. [/b]I have a policy in place where the kids watch tv when they first come in (while I am getting breakfast), and sometimes during the time I am getting lunch ready. Whats funny is I have parents who want tv limited, yet their kids are the very ones coming in telling me how they saw this at home, or we watched this. Or mommy lets us watch this, etc etc etc. So before proclaiming to your provider how you are a tv free home, be sure the kids dont spill their guts. I see right through these families. [/quote]

So wait, just because YOU can't live without TV, you think nobody else can either?  Sorry sweetie, but many of us do indeed strictly limit or even prohibit TV for young children, in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.  But it doesn't matter anyway -- even if we watch TV on occasion at home I would never expect a PAID daycare provider to rely on it on a regular basis.  They are supposed to be professionals.[/quote]
