TV time affecting negatively long term?
My kids (2, 4) watch a lot of tv in the living room. For moms with kids over say 8 years old who also let them watch tv a lot when young, would you say it negatively affected them or is everything fine? Lol. I want to let go of the guilt around letting them watch kids shows/ movies when they’re home. We also do a lot of other things- everyday we do 1-2 of the following: library storytimes, playground, pool, splash pad, grocery store, play date, outside play at home, cook, clean, playtime inside, books…. But I let them watch tv in the morning when I’m getting ready, making dinner, rest time for my oldest when my youngest naps, and then maybe watch something together in the evening after dinner etc. so it adds up I’m sure. I’d like to hear that others don’t have a lot of limits around tv and their older kids are doing great so I can let go of the guilt. I try setting out play dough, art, just saying go play etc but they don’t play very long without me or end up fighting or doing something dangerous which leads to tv…
