[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think no tv is fine. But she should be allowed maybe half an hour per day for communicating with her friends. [b]Restricting it entirely would've been like your parents not allowing you to talk on the phone five days a week.[/b][/quote] There was a lot of time I couldn't talk on the phone. For starters, there were 7 people living in my house and just one phone line. That phone line didn't have call waiting or any other feature, so calls had to be kept short unless permission was given to talk for a longer stretch. Then there was afterschool activities, homework, chores, long family dinner. So no, it's not like talking on the phone was this essential daily feature growing up. [/quote]
