[quote=Anonymous]i stopped reading at page three. i'm surprised by how many parents say that they need the background noise of tv. that's how we were, also, before our DS was born. he's now 18-months. the tv was on most of the time for the first 2-3 months after he was born. nursing, even at night, required lots of Bravo. but around 3 months, he started to notice the flashing lights of the tv, and we started to leave it off. turn on the radio, music, sing, anything else that makes noise. we talk to him a lot. at 18-months, he's never "watched" television. he knows what it is because he's caught glimpses of it, but he's never asked for it and probably doesn't really get it, and that's fine with us for now. there are evenings when i wish i could plop him in front of elmo and make dinner, but we decided not to do that, and we're trying to stick to it.
