I fear for my Daughter. What should I do? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 77/100. ireneortiz (144)3 years ago

I do not know if i did the right thing of letting my 2yr 10months old daughter to watch 17series of DORA the explorer DVD. At first i am so amuse that she easily cope up the things that Dora is teaching to the kids watching but then i noticed that its eating her, she doesnt want to stand up to take a pee and all her concentration is focused to the TV, i know it is also fault in my part letting her stay in TV for almost 2 to 3 hours. She is now becoming more irritable, impatient if we do not allow her to watch Dora. She doesnt want to play other things. What should i do to divert her attention. I really need a good advice.

Hi ireneortiz. I was going to answer this when you
first posted it but I thought it would be better if
you found out on your own that she would get tired
of Dora and move on to other things.

I bet she has, right? At least I hope she has moved
on. It's perfectly normal for toddlers to become so
focused on things. Their brains are sponges that will
soak up everything.

She will go through many of these obsessions. Dora
is a very good one and there will be more. The most
important thing is that you control what she becomes
so focused on. Make it positive things for her to
learn from.

Of course I don't need to tell a mother that. I am
sure you watch over her every move like all mothers
do.

Thank dear for your response. Actually watching over her is one of my problem because i am a working mother im just seeing her everynight and every morning. I left her with my mother and our maid. I am telling my mother not to allow her to watch for more than 2 hours so what she's doing is shes turning off the entire power switch (the switch box) instead of just simply unplugging the TV because my daughter will cry and will not allow the TV to be off, but when we tell her theres no power and she saw that were not going near the TV she will not cry. I dont know children nowadays are more intelligent.

You are right also that she's tired of watching DORA, well we hide the CD then shes now more focus on playing with her cousins.

I am also planning to enroll her in a day care this coming June so she can interact more with her co age.

I can understand how hard it must be to work and
want to be with your daughter. Not many families
have only one person working these days.

Even in my country both parents work to make a
good living. Of course we spend a lot also.

Yeah you are right it seems kids are much smarter
these days. Getting harder to outsmart them. lol

yes its really hard to outsmart them. Now she is my problem if my husband will work abroad, as ive said in my other discussion. i just hope she will not grow hard headed.

It appears to me that you have a level and sound
head. So I'm sure you will make sure she stays in
line. They test us at that age but we make the rules.
