DD is a lovely, fun little girl and I adore her but I'm feeling guilty about the amount of time we have the TV on during the day (literally hours at a time) and am wondering what other people are doing to fill the time!
I'd imagined that we'd be out at groups or seeing people every day but a move to a new town and Covid has obviously put paid to that. She plays with her toys with TV in the background and sometimes watches on my lap. We only ever watch kids TV so it's nothing that's inappropriate for her, just too much of it.
We read books several times a day, eat meals in the kitchen away from the TV, take at least one long walk so it's not like she's in front of it all day. I do play peekaboo etc but it doesn't last that long. I talk to her lots and sing songs which she loves but I can't do it literally all day. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
