He seems quite happy to play with his toys. Maybe he has missed them all day!! Marita: I grew up without a TV and I understand your girls problem. I think if they watch DVDs at least they will know some characters and stuff. When I grew up in the 80s when there wasn't as much for kids to watch until they were older. So I only had the problem of conversation with others when I was at high school. Not all the time though. I was better off not watching those shows (Neighbours/90210 etc) that others watched. I think you are wise to monitor what they see. I only let my son watch ABC kids- no adds, certain DVDs, and the odd show like Scrapheap challenge (he loves building things!) Kids are very impressionable and are better off with wholesome books anyway. They might be good influence for other kids - get them thinking of other things than TV! I have a few friends/relatives whose kids mainly use Technology on the weekend. Particularly those who are a bit older. Since my son started school this year, he hasn’t watched TV after school.

I also had some face to face conversations about it last week too. A couple of people explained to me how they have no TV on the week days, but then have a liberal approach on the week end. I can see how as the kids get older and have more homework we could move to an arrangement like this. Thanks for sharing how you manage the TV in your house.
