[quote=Anonymous]I started last year with a family that had an hour of television every night... regardless of whether they were with the parents or an AP. And the parents make free use of electronics when I'm off duty. So, I've been slowly changing it to less time, and when they get at least 30 minutes, it's something like Bill Nye or Story Bots. I would suggest a discussion between all adults to discuss the way that the television is handled in the morning. If you can video what happens to watch together, it might get the point across better. Have a few low energy suggestions ready for dad to do with her, like singing along to pandora or reading to her. You want to make it clear that the time spent together is precious, but for the sake of your charge, it needs to be something else, something more developmentally appropriate. Rather than just something dad wants to do with her, it needs to be something she enjoys that doesn't create bad behavior.[/quote]
