How much TV do you let your kids watch?

We have to set some limits because my children are like me - they enjoy watching television. We allow them each one choice a day, but even that can add up to too much t.v. in one day. Rainy days are tough because it seems that's all they want to do. However, some days, I just say no and we do crafts, card making or play games. They enjoy that too!

i wouldn't want my children to watch tv excessively due to the fact they will not have enough time for their academics and sleep. what i do is that there are important programmes that allow them to watch and there is particualar time for bed especially at night. so because of these arrangements they don't watch tv any how. atimes they come begging to watch some adverts and programmes.

We don't have a set rule of how much TV our 2 year old can watch. He's pretty much allowed to watch it as much as he wants, as long as it doesn't interfere with dinner, naps, bedtime, etc. Really he doesn't watch much TV, though. A lot of times it's on in the afternoon, but he's coloring, playing with his toys, snuggling with the dogs, etc, and just using the TV as background music. If he is actively watching the TV, he's usually dancing around singing! We also make sure we go out and play when it's nice enough to. We go for walks every day if it's nice, too.

My daughter is only five months old and she doesnt watch any TV whatsoever. She will not watch any TV until she is two. I firmly beleive in this and will follow through. When she turns two she wont watch anything, but the learning channel or discovery channel because that is what we watch and i will not have my daughter watching that reatardation called cartoons.
