If it is hot, dry and dusty outside that does make it a little difficult plus if you are not at home to supervise them all the time that only adds to the situation. I suggest that you get them some educational toys and games, so they can have fun plus learn at the same time. Also encourage them to do some drawings or depending on their ages, write you a little story about their day. It isn't necessary to take the TV off them but just limit the amount of time they can spend watching it. Good luck and hope you can come to a solution. :)

maybe you could divert them to workshops at school or let them make new things like making any art works or playing ball game or online games or anything that may distract their attention to cartoons or so that they can be progressive in many ways possible not just sitting and watching cartoons. just try it though.

Most children are. The best thing is to give them some time to watch cartoons and they have to perform their studies, prayers etc as per your wish. The greatest thing is to inculcate in them, one or two hobbies which are educative, so that their concentration will be switched over to the hobbies.

U children have no other option at home,except fot tv and computer........but u can divert their mind by engaging them into sports like tennis,cricket,basketball etc.,. at the local sports club......most kids would enjoy playing sports.....whether its a boy or a girl.

give them educational and fun alternatives ... go on outings do arts and crafts or just give them a set amount of time to watch cartoons a day
