This amount of TV very much IS the norm, but that doesn't mean it's particularly healthy or that OP shouldn't try to cut down. "It makes her happy and means I don't have to play with her" is... not a ringing endorsement. It's also not exclusive to TV time.

Yes, Agree!!!!! I am a single mom of s kindergarten DD. I am also an early childhood teacher. She does weekly ballet, we see tons of children’s theater, museums, library, we are working on a 700!piece puzzle together, games, I play barbies with her after teaching all day, just baked lemon cake with her over the weekend, art, ETC!

I see no problem giving her unlimited screen time when we are not busy. She loves it, and mommy needs a break!


Well you have an only child so she does not have anyone to play with but you... OP has 3 kids... they should be able to play together and entertain each other

Wait, why aren’t your kids entertaining *each other*? Those are great ages to play together.

Forgot to mention that we also like to scout out new playgrounds on the weekend and drive up to 45 minutes for a very special playground ...
