My nearly 5 year old daughter loves Cbeebies, that's the only channel I let her watch as it's free from advertising etc.
The minute she wakes up, she wants it and the minute she gets home from school, she wants to watch it. She gets very demanding after school and it does help her to relax I suppose, but I feel she watches way too much. She'll watch it from 3:30- 7pm, when it finnishes and she has to go to bed. She is now demanding her dinner in the living room so she can still watch it. If I insist she eats in the kitchen, she'll have a few mouth fulls and then run back to the T.V.
She is also wetting herself a lot recently, she'll just sit there and wet herself. She is doing this where ever we go though as well.
I'm just wondering wether we could tell her that the T.V is broken and won't be mended for a whole week.
It would be an experement to see how different things are. I'll need to be prepared before I do it. I'll buy engredients to make cakes etc, she has plenty of colouring books and toys.
I think I should do it, I'm not sure wether it'll drive me mad, but I'll have a go.
Have any of you done this before? How did it go and do you have any advice or tips?
