We have always been strict about TV. DS didn't watch any until he was two and then we've built up. From about 15 mins to about 30-40 mins a day now. At weekends maybe a film.
But he's obsessed. He will ask and ask and ask for it. We do loads of other things with him, but if he thinks that there's TV on the horizon it will take up his mind.
It's exhausting. When it goes off, with huge amount of warning, he will often have a massive tantrum that can go on and on...
No idea whether to ease up or stay firm. Find it so hard. He's pretty crap at amusing himself on his own so I don't want to use that as the cop out. It's not going to help him improve. Equally, don't want to be so uptight about it that it becomes more desirable.
