Do you have schedule for TV viewing for your kids?

I always swore I would never be a parent to let my kids watch television. Well, life got in the way of that. My husband is gone for seven months and it's just me here taking care of our daughter. Some mornings I cannot make breakfast because she is in there crying, whining, climbing on me, pushing between me and the cabinets. It is ridiculous how hard it is to cook sometimes. To get our meals made and keep my sanity sometimes I do have to stick her in fron of the television. I'll just leave her there to watch Sesame Street or something else educational like that. And not longer than 30 minutes. I don't think this is too bad. I wish I could completely so no but sometimes having my sanity is worth giving up little battles.

My baby is only two years old and all she does is play and watch TV. I think, in due time, I will teach her self-discipline and make her understand how important it is to prioritize studying over watching TV. I totally agree with coming up with a schedule, like allowing her to watch only on weekends, or only up to a certain time, etc. I know of some who make a great sacrifice of not having TV at home at all. That would be really difficult although it really makes sense too. But it's something I know I will not be able to do, i think.

I dont have kids.. But I have a small brother.. My parents gives shcedulr foe him to watch TV.. He is authorised to watch tv in evenings not at night and mornings..
