Besides the arguments for and against television with regards to arguments about it's effect on a baby's mental development, why on earth would you subject yourself to constant cbeebies when you don't have to?
Surely the years before your child is old enough to demand the telly on are a gift to be able to have music, your own choice of telly or silence?
And surely if you have children's television on for babies then you are just training them to be children who want the television on all the time?
This is inspired by a friend of mine saying she's had to limit television time for her 2 year old to two hours a day as he was driving her mental demanding the television on all day everyday. So now she has him on a strict hour in the morning and hour before bed routine. Apparently he's tantrumming at the televison set all day wanting it on, so she's being strict and saying no and hoping he'll get used to the rules soon enough.
This is the same woman who had cbeebies on for him all day everyday from birth pretty much, bought him waybaloo and in the night garden stuff for his first christmas, took him the the in the night garden live show etc etc.
gah!
