[quote=Anonymous]I turn on the tv for my 17 month old pretty rarely  (maybe for a few minutes once every couple weeks or so?) I'll put it on when it's been a really long day, the weather is bad, or when he is sick or having pain from teething or something.

I always put in a DVD for him instead of just having regular tv on a) because I hate commercials and b) because I don't know what time kids' programs come on since we hardly ever watch and I don't want to spend time finding an appropriate show for him.

Anyway, we have a couple DVDs of Elmo's world and Baby Einstein and he seems to like both of those pretty well but will only really watch for 5-10 minutes before turning his attention to something else, at which point I'll just turn off the tv because I hate to have it on in the background when no one's watching and I figure if he's not that interested in it, it's not a habit I am trying to reinforce, it's just kind of a rainy day/sick day 5-10 min novelty for now.

I'm not opposed to him seeing more tv (I'm not a nut about it and I don't try to keep him from watching at other people's houses) but I just don't really see the point since he's not that interested in it anyway why get him started? [/quote]
