Ds is just 4, he has a three month old brother. prior to going on mat leave he attended nursery for three full days a week and mostly really enjoyed all the different stimulation/activities etc and social side of it.
Since mat leave we can only afford to keep him in one day per week (plus I had wanted to spend more time with him). I have found a lovely preschool though and he attends for 11 hours over three days and he is loving this too.
Problem is, when he is at home ALL he wants to do is watch Cbeebies, given a chance he would sit glued to it all day. Obviously having just had a new baby my time and energy has been limited, although I have tried to keep offering him alternative activities, craft, helping with cooking, reading books etc and he has loads of toys!
He just isnt interested though and when i turn the tv off he just moans and whinges until I can feel my head explode!! Tv then goes on as I fdeel that is better than losing my temper.
Any views or strategies on this would be very much appreciated! Am really worried about the effect all this tv is having on DS
