[quote=Anonymous]I think family TV time is totally fine -- great even. It would bother me if it was every single day thought because I think habitual TV-watching can create a dependence on it. My family watched TV every night of my childhood often for several hours. As an adult I realized how limiting that is and it actually took me a while to break the habit so that I wouldn't feel a *need* to watch TV every single night -- I can skip it and read a book or play a board game or focus on a project I want to work on. So I'd maybe see if you can set up TV nights and non-TV nights so that your kids don't get used to the idea that every single night is TV time. That's what we do. We have shows we like watching with our kids but we also have nights where we break out the board games or bake something or all lie around reading books.[/quote]
