[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]P.S. I, too, watched a ton of TV as a kid, and the TV was on constantly. I, too, have about all the academic gold stars that can possibly be received... and I have a crap attention span and (IMO) less-than-stellar social skills and subpar emotional regulation skills. So there's that.[/quote]

I have ADD, terrible emotional coping skills and am terribly awkward. Grew up with no TV until I was well into elementary school/middle school and even than it was limited. Now I binge watch shows like crazy, I feel like I missed out as a kid. It's all about healthy balances.[/quote]

I am the PP you responded to and also binge-watch shows like crazy (I also have ADHD). I don't think it would have been healthier for you to have unlimited TV, and from what I've witnessed (my family and DH's rife with ADHD), it wouldn't have [i]necessarily[/i] been healthier for you to have had "a healthy balance," either. It very much depends on the child, and kids with ADHD [i]usually[/i] don't do great with high-stimulation activities like TV, especially when they're very little. [/quote]
