[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 year old triplet charges.  They watch no TV with me at all, but watch a fair amount with both Mom and Dad on the big TV in the living room and the family room.  I've never had one tantrum from them about TV.  Honestly they never even ask me because I've never turned it on.  [/quote]

You're lucky.  My DD throws a tantrum frequently when she can't watch TV.  I wish I had thought of only letting her watch TV on our laptops and then could put the laptops away - or not let her watch TV at all.  She is 2.5 and exceptionally willful.    [/quote]

That's because she watches TV with you and you have likely given in to at least 1 tantrum in her life. I'm sure that my charges as both my MB and DB to watch TV and very well may throw a tantrum for them because as I stated before they watch a fair amount of TV with them.

I think you missed my point when I said I've never once turned it on for them.  In their world TV doesn't exist when I'm there so they don't even ask me for TV.  I think the nanny in this situation is overthinking the issue.  If you never turn the TV on when you are with the children, the chances of dealing with tantrums over it are very slim at this age.  Now as they get older it becomes harder, but I've never had an issue with toddlers.
