[quote=Anonymous]My kids, now all adults grew up watching TV at times & they never had any developmental issues because of it. So all the so-called “experts” who claim that TV damages a child’s mind, etc. are just meritless. My kids have grown up normal + healthy and today are very successful adults. Parents who do not want their Nanny to ever put on the television set on while on duty are of the mindset that they are paying their Nannies to entertain and engage with their child - not watch TV. I personally use screen time after we have lunch so the child is occupied so I can wipe the table and counters, sweep the floor and wash the dishes/bottles. It’s nearly impossible to do all of that when the kids are all running around. While I can understand a parent does not want a Nanny who uses the TV as a babysitter (who can blame them??), I feel as long as a Nanny uses minimal TV time then that should be allowed. Especially if the Nanny is there longer than five hrs. or so. I could never work for a family that had a television set in the house yet told me I was not allowed to use it while I am there.[/quote]
