Do your toddlers watch tv while eating?

Question

Answer

Nope we make a point to eat at the table together any chance we get. My daughter isn’t really interested in tv though she just wants to be outside 24/7 lol

Answer

In my house yes. We are so busy with full time work and college and my husband and I have opposite schedules, we don’t have a lot of time to sit and eat together.

Answer

No but my worry comes from them choking because they are paying more attention to the TV than their chewing.

Answer

All the pediatricians, nutritionists, and dietitians I’ve seen said not to do that for children or adults or it can create bad/negative habits.

Answer

No, tv is really bad for toddlers eyes. It also been proven to significantly decrease creativity in kids and increase anxiety and depression in teens. We only use tv on sick days.

Answer

No, it’s a choking hazard & makes it a lot harder for them to follow their hunger cues & listen to their body/ eat the correct amount.

Answer

No, but I can’t even tell you the last time tv was on in our house.  No one here really watches it.  I do on my iPad in bed sometimes and that’s really it.

Answer

Yup my tv is on all day 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

We’re definitely not against tech here😂 if he’s ready to eat but dinners gonna be a minute I usually give home something small the snack and my phone and let him sit. Sometimes it if I set up my phone for him he’ll eat better cuz he sits longer 🤷🏼‍♀️ do what works for you and your family

Answer

On weekends I let my first eat lunch while he watches TV. I don’t remember why anymore lol. My second is still a hot mess and I don’t let him eat meals outside the kitchen.
