Hey Mamas! How much tv does your 20-24 month olds watch? Lets be real please

Question

Feel free to explain in comments. I see all these moms saying less than a hour or only 1 hour. I’m over here like gtfoh?!? Like for real?! Our tv time varies from day to day. Ty Mamas for input too!

Answer

We are very against more than 1 hour of any screen time a day before age 6 in our home as we are very concerned about real life learning and human interaction, playing outside, learning to cook, clean, etc.

Answer

my tv is on all day and i do not feel bad about it. they aren’t constantly glued to it, it’s there to watch when they feel like watching. i got shit to do. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I am also one of the less than 1 hour moms. I've seen how dependent and whiny kids get in tv/tablets and I refuse to let my kids act like that to me over electronics. It's not something they need and I can easily parent without it. The last time my son had screen time was when we needed him to lay still for an ultrasound of his heart. It's something for special occasions only.

Answer

I like to have the tv on all day as back ground noise, realistically my daughter probably actually watches the tv for an hour though. She likes to play with her toys and run around more than she actually sits and watches it.

Answer

Dude. I wish my son would watch TV. He literally runs the house, going from toy to toy, climbing the bar stools, climbing the dining chairs and tables. Wanting “bubbles” and baths. “Snack” all day long

Answer

Depends on the day. She's only 6 months old and not that interested anyways. Usually doesn't work to distract her so I can do things.

Answer

It’s varies from day to day. If it’s really nice out (not a heat wave, not Smokey) we tend to spend more time outside and less tv time. But if we are stuck inside I tend to put it on a bit more. It’s anything from Daniel Tiger to garbage truck videos

Answer

My tvs are on all day . 🤷🏾‍♀️ but they be doing everything else as well

Answer

My daughter just never noticed tv!  She was always on the go!  Once she discovered it it was lets watch shrek on god damn repeat until mommy goes crazy and we gotta leave the house lol but that happened around 2 years old. So before that none

Answer

When my daughter was 2 she would watch her favorite movie back to back…. It was boss baby. Literally on repeat. Now let’s be clear though she would walk away and play but the movie had to be on. That and wreck it Ralph. 
She is 3 and watches YouTube people who play with toys, preschool teachers, and plays roblox. 
75% of her day is spent running in my house though. I swear she should run track like I did at this point.
