We have several televisions and foxtel but the girls really dont watch much tv at all. We have rules that unless its a rainy day tv doesnt go on after school. I much rather them to be playing outside and enjoying other things rather than sitting in front of the television each day. They watch H&A religiously each night and a couple of other shows during the week. The kids are more intent on watching dvds which they have a large range of. I prefer those as I know what is in them and know that after an hour and a half its finished over! Some of the cartoons and even Lizzie Maguire and Sponge bob are just too ridiculous!!!On the weekends if they have free time ie in schoolwork and chores around home are done they are able to watch what they want with guidance and there are times when Darren isnt working where we will all snuggle up as a family and watch dvds continuously! I do believe in moderation but Im not a nazi about it KWIM.

Sammy really doesnt notice the television at all. Sometimes if we are home I will have playschool on and we will sing the songs together but thats really it for him.
