God that sounds so bad written down.
He goes through stages of waking at 5 and it usually lasts around a week then reverts to half six again, not sure why.
I don’t know what to do with him at this time other than let him watch TV! Then he has another hour or so at the end of the day
Do others do the same?
AIBU?
To have my 2 yo watch 5 hours of TV?

As with PP, this suggests screen time has an impact on ADHD-related behaviours not ADHD. Following to the study that it is citing, they seem to be suggesting that these behaviours can be reversed by lowering the amount of screen time. They also talk significantly about the type of TV, which I think is something often overlooked in these conversations. The woman who rips apart CocoMelon adds an interesting take where she talks about the quality of the TV. I’ll be back once I’ve found her. Worth reading OP!

We’ve never watched cocomelon. He hates it, thankfully.
It is generally Mr Tumble (pre 6am) then CBeebies where there are things he likes (teletubbies, Chuggingtons - annoying talking trains - has started to get into Hey Duggee) and things he’s not bothered about he wanders off and engages in meaningful play (trashing the house …) 😂

I don’t see the big deal. I grew up watching tv and I turned out tv.

I meant 8-9 in the morning, not evening!
I honestly don’t think it’s affecting behaviour or sleep … if I did might have to rethink. Bear in mind we’re talking maybe two mornings a month where it’s that much.
