Limited tv time/no tv time and behaviour

[Louisa30]

Has anytime done limited/no tv time (we don’t use tablets/ipads) and noticed a big difference in child’s behaviour? This is a 5 year old with adhd characteristics. Thanks!

In what way has behaviour changed?

Lots of ND people use the TV to help them regulate so sometimes taking that away can adversely affect behaviour.

Were they obsessively watching TV before? Did they behave especially badly when you switched off? I think it’s as much about what they’re watching as how much. TV can be really useful if you’re watching together & sharing enjoyment & also story led TV can be a great way for kids to start to understand the world.
