TV for under threes

[roseability]

There was a wee article about how damaging TV for under threes is in Saturday's Guardian.

How much is too much? Is any TV too much?

Do any mums get through the first three years with no TV?

Not meant to be a judgemental post (my DS 2.4 watches TV occasionally) just interested in other mum's opinions

I do get a little sick of books/newspapers/government telling us how to parent. Motherhood had become so political!

Meh, its just TV and as long as its monitored and used as part of a full and active day then I don't worry. I don't let her watch anything other than cbeebies/dvds though for the adverts reason. She is currently obsessed with going on mummy's "in the net" which I also monitor and restrict to poissonrouge, cbeebies and starfall. She will possibly grow up with the attention span of a gnat, but she also has tons of books and loves reading with me too. Everything in moderation.

This is why I love mumsnet, knew about poissonrouge, just found starfall, thanks!
