[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents were strict about grades and chores were required. As long as grades were good and chores were completed - there were no limits on TV. However, we got maybe 5 channels, tv was in the living room, and parents had priority if they wanted to watch something. TV often just wasn’t all that appealing. My sister and I played outside a lot and read a lot of books. [/quote] This rings true. There was pretty limited programming geared towards kids. A little after school and Saturday mornings. That's about it. There wasn't much to watch and it all had commercials. [/quote] +1 it wasn't an endless supply of mindless screen time. A lot of unstructured time that was probably better for development than fancy "enrichment." I loved creative play, writing stories, read a ton, socialized with neighbor kids outside etc. [/quote]
