DD didnt watch tv till she was about 20 months and i started doing a few shifts at work to help a friend and DH was looking after her, he put the tv on so he could clean the house, best intentions and all. and now she watches ABC1 for kids in the mornings, but only like certain shows so will turn it on and off, probably watches an hours worth all up, or less if she forgets to put it back on after thomas the tank engine...which she does quite often. then she watched playschool and octonaugts in the arvo,her two favorite shows. we normally only watch them if we arnt doing anything else thats fun/interesting, like if im breastfeeding and shes bored etc. we have a few dvds, bob the builder and playschool, mainly got them for the last few weeks of my pregnancy when i was so tired and needed a rest, but she still watched playschool and now knows SO much about dinosaurs we limit it but im sure we watch more than alot.

its a personal choice, and im sure her son will be ok, i wouldnt say anything, but i do belive its not good for them to watch it all the time, i certainly wouldnt let dd watch more than a few hours a day. but saying that, when DH is home the tv is normally on all the time, even if noone is watching, i think he just likes to have noise on, where i quite like quiet in the day. aslong as they do other things in the day, i think its a good tool to use to have five minutes peace or cook dinner etc.
