[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest kid is 7, he just colors or reads in the morning. I don't allow access to YouTube or similar unsupervised. If he wants a movie or TV, we put it on. I'm not unusually rigid on TV (we've been watching World axup matches) but 7 is too young for unsupervised media access, particularly internet content.[/quote] +1 I don't know how old OP kids are but my oldest is 8 and has no way to turn on the TV on his own and no access to a computer or laptop without me either. We do watch stuff on the TV but nothing unsupervised and no way it would be YouTube on their own. If he's interested in a topic we will look up content together. OP they will have tantrums and bother you more (if you are hoping to sleep in) but you just have to pull the plug and they'll entertain themselves in other ways. You could start off with a "morning box" of activities stuff like many parents try for afternoon quiet time. [/quote]
