I think that too much TV for anyone isn’t the greatest things because if your inside watching TV your not out doing other things, just as running around or even learning how to entertain yourself.  I let Alex watch some of his favorite shows, such as Sesame Street and Super Why, things that are educational.  What I have noticed that I do and I’m really trying to get out of the habit of, is having the TV on when we aren’t watching it.  Then we just end up sitting in front of it even we don’t want to be.   If this is the same thing that you are doing, try replacing it with music!  Get up and dance with your baby/toddler!  This is much more fun for any child, and gives more movement to everyone involved!

TV isn’t a bad thing, but too much of it could be.  It is really important for children to be able to occupy themselves.  One of the best ways to help them learn this is less TV.  So if there is nothing that is worth watching turn it off and play play play!!
