How many hours of TV does your 20 mo old watch per day? Trying to find a good balance over here 🤦🏻‍♀️

Question

Answer

I have it on almost all day, but he doesn’t watch it all day. He watches it here and there and then runs around playing with his toys and his sister and such. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Here’s a great example of why I love tv sometimes. My girly is getting her 2 year molars and was miserable. Watched an episode of Sesame Street all about ramps, totally reset her mood.. then spent an hour having a blast making her own ramps. We played with her for a while then she stayed in the playroom making her own. It’s not all bad as long as they’re watching good stuff!

Answer

This is super weather dependent over here. It’s just starting to get nice out where we live. If the weather is nice we hardly have the tv on at all. If we’re house bound all day she watches a show here and there to if she’s cranky. Sometimes it’s just survival mama. I’m 38 weeks pregnant so my girly is definitely getting more screen time than usual. I don’t stress about it since we also play a ton, do lots of art projects, and read a million books.

Answer

We watch less than an hour a month; he has way more fun reading books and going outside 😊

Answer

It’s often on but he only passively shows interest for a minute here or there

Answer

The telly is on all the time as im watching it haha and for background noise. Id say for actually her sitting and only watching the tv about an hour a day. She will look up for what we are doing if something catches her eye. As the weather gets warmer we will be outside more and the telly will be on less. Im not worried at all, when she is watching the telly we talk about whats going on and I actually feel it helps her language.

Answer

Totally depends on the day. If we go on car rides longer than an hour, or if she doesn't have a nap.

Answer

15 - 30min every evening while drinking his milk. After that we eat and put him to bed. We try to have an hour in between tv time and bed time, as recommended by our pediatrician
