We don't have rues as such, but the TV is very rarely on during the day. Generally it goes on for Hi-5 at 6pm and it will keep Zander occupied for about 15mins until he realises I am making dinner & has to help LOL! It generally will stay on after that, daddy will watch the news and we watch other shows later on, but Zander just isn't interested. Like a lot of the others, he prefers to listen to music.
