My current mommy related question has been worrisome for me lately… How much TV is too much for my 2 year old son? He’s my first and only and has been stuck at home all day with me lately, which results in approx 3 hours of TV per day (on a bad day, when he gets so fussy being home that I resort to sticking him in front of the TV). They are all good shows, Baby Einstein, Blues Clues, Baby Signing Time and his favorite Curious George (the movie) and he’ll play with his toys and things through most of them. But when a day passes that I realize he’s watched so much I feel like throwing all our media away (including the computer, because if I weren’t so busy trying to do work on it I could play more with him)!!! But of course that’s crazy talk, we need the money I get from my computer work, there’s no possible way I could spend every minute of the day on the floor playing with him (even he would hate that) and what would I do once he was asleep?!?!

Any words of wisdom on the subject? =S

    First, thanks for your reply on my question! Second, just reading your query about tv time started in my own mommy guilt! I feel the same thing, some days are worse than others, but I do turn to the tv to help offset the constant demand for attention some days. I teach (yoga) out of the house & he goes to a child care at a gym where the tv is always on, too. I’ve started sewing at home trying to generate a little more income, and if he’s not sleeping, I often have no other way to distract him. I do try to limit to 2 hours/day, which is what the AAP recommends to be the max, but sometimes we exceed that.

    My advice on the matter??? Well, I try to get some really good play time in with T when I can, as well as spend a lot of out doors time when it’s nice enough to do so. I feel like if he’s getting the interaction he needs and the stimulation of learning from life experiences, then a bit of tv throughout the day can’t be too harmful. Maybe I’m just kidding myself, I don’t know! Good luck to you & ridding your guilt!

    Thanks for the other hops you’ve got here, too! Off to check out more.
