At what age?

Question

At what age did you allow your child to have a TV in their room? And did it affect their sleeping or cause any behaviors if so?

Answer

Never because there are no benefits to their development, only potentially harmful impacts to it.  My teens don’t even have a tv in their room 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Never. Me and my husband don't even have a tv in our room. We have 1 tv in the family room (that has no cable/satellite/streaming services lol so have to use the laptop and bluetooth). They can have as many books as they want in their room but tv in a bedroom is pointless to me.

Answer

My oldest is 11. They’ll never have a tv in their room. They can watch tv downstairs in the family room.

Answer

Lol! I had a tv in my room from the age of 12-13. I’m pretty sure I turned out ok? 🤔 i wouldn’t allow my LO to have a tv any younger than that but I wouldn’t say no if they are literally starting secondary school and would like one. As long as she continues to get up and ready for school then I’ve no problem. Tv did not effect my ability to go to school and then onto university 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Will never happen 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I didn’t get a tv in my room until I was in my mid teens. My 10 year old stepson has a tv & 2 gaming systems at his mothers house that he’s had for over 2 years & especially the 1st year it has caused problems w/ his sleep (staying up too late or he watched something scary & couldn’t sleep) & also his mood the next day when he was overtired. We have told him he won’t get one here until high school at least.

Answer

Oh gosh. That’s a hard question because I can’t predict the future. Haha. I can’t imagine I would until middle school at the very earliest, but even then probably not. We also don’t do much tv though. He’s 3.5 and he maybe gets to watch a movie once a month or so.

Answer

I'll be the odd mom out.  I think my kids were around 9 but they almost exclusively use the TV for video games.  They like to play games online and talk with friends.

Answer

I don’t plan on letting my kids have TVs in their rooms. The only way we were allowed to have one in our rooms growing up was if we saved up the money and bought it ourselves.

Answer

Around 6. She rarely watches it though. It didn't cause issues with sleep at all. Still doesn't cuz its not something she watches regularly. Just every once in a while.
