Too much TV?

Question

My son has recently become addicted to TV lol. He just shouts until we put on his favorite movie. We go out often to parks, but anytime we're home that's the default thing to wants to do. We have plenty of toys and books too. Is anyone else going through this? How do I limit screen time?

Answer

You just have to set the limit and hold to it. He'll protest because he knows it's worked in the past to get his way. Just let him feel his feelings of being upset and say, "I know you're upset you can't watch tv and it's okay to be upset. Some things you can do are: list some things". It'll be bad at first but get better once he gets used to it.

Answer

Music on Pandora, nature scenes on YouTube, or lofi/chill hop on YouTube. So the tv is technically on but not on something super addictive.

Answer

My son likes the tv to. We go on so many walks and hikes. We read him books and play toys. However I was still feeling like he had too much tv time. So now when we get home while I make dinner and get settled I play music. He’s finally starting to dance and showing me that he likes it. 😅 I think it helps because he will run around and dance or just get distracted with toys.

Answer

Side note : sometimes when my babe wants a video , I ask her if she wants to listen to music and she usually says yes

Answer

We have always limited our toddler to only at dinner - sounds weird but I Just Don’t want to fight to get her to eat and she’s always tired at that point . 
When she asks occasionally , I just
Remind her that videos are only for dinner .
You’ll have some push back but it would be good to schedule your kids screen time so
They know when to expect it.
Whatever that means to you. Whether it’s one hour while you make dinner , or an half hour in the morning … 
You babe will
Settle into routine . You’ll just have to put your foot down for a bit
