Tv in your child’s room?

Question

I was just wondering how many out there have tv in your child’s room 5 years and younger? When did you start? We just gave my son who is 3 a tv and we set a timer to turn off after an hour and it seems to help him go to bed or the transition better. We tried everything else and he always fought us on bedtime. Just crazy to see his attitude change so fast.

Answer

I think it’s an awful habit to start at 3 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think a compromise could be an hour of tv in the family room or some time on a tablet- a tv doesn’t belong in a toddlers bedroom in my opinion. Like you said, he’s now using it as an every night routine before bed.

Answer

No absolutely not

Answer

The blue light from TV is terrible for sleep quality.

Answer

My daughter can have a tv in her room when she can afford to buy her own😂😂😂. High school the earliest

Answer

Bedroom is for sleeping not watching tv, if my kids want to watch tv they have to in the living room. Only thing I allow is their tablets but it has a lock on it till morning

Answer

Maybe try a radio/iPod instead of a tv. Agree with the others that a tv should not be in a 3yo’s room

Answer

Nope. I don’t want to pay for it and my kid would figure out how to turn it on. Mine was fighting about bedtime recently, drove me up the wall, so I introduced the idea of watching TV as a family before bed. He currently chooses books or TV, it’s 50/50 what he’ll pick, and TV goes off after 15-20 minutes.

Answer

My daughter is almost 3 and still doesn’t get any screen time on a regular basis. She’s never watched a movie. The only tv she gets to see is when we have a football game or something like that on. We are holding out as long as possible. As for in her room, we will delay that as well. When she does get a tv it will most likely be just for playing movies, not Netflix or cable or anything like that.

Answer

Nah. Last time I tried, the TV got broken. So nope , not again. 😂 Forget what others say. If it works, it works. ❤️
