What do you let your kids watch - around the age of 3-5 years old? My
kid is a bit older than 2 years and we usually restrict her to watching videos or pre-taped shows. Moving past 2 years, what do you usually let them watch? honestly.. |

The girls (7 1/2 yrs and 4 1/2 yrs) sometimes watch DVD's on the computer, but it's kept as a treat. Debbie |

Moving past 2 years, what do you usually let them watch? honestly.. My kids are the same age range. They don't watch TV on week days. On weekends we're home usually in the afternoon. They watch little bear or Franklin for an hour. If none of us is busy we'll sit down and watch cooking shows on PBS (not the Food Network mind you, PBS cooking shows are much better). I also like to watch HGTV with them. They make comments on how easy it is to make some dish or paint a room. About 4 hours total of TV time per week. So far I can count the number of times they watched a DVD movie. Commercials don't bother me. I also talk to them about how what you see is not really what you get in the advertisements. |

Hi -- When our boys were in the 3-5 year range, they didn't watch a huge amount, but what they did watch was: - videos of our choosing - shows on Nick Jr. at first, later on shows on PBS Kids. (The PBS shows are aimed at slightly older kids than the Nick Jr. shows.) It was several years before our kids realized that other channels even existed! Some favorites included Reading Rainbow, Magic Schoolbus and Thomas the Tank. They had other favorites as well, but this is 5-7 years ago, so even if I could remember there would probably be new shows on by now. I hope these thoughts help, --Beth Kevles -THE-COM-HERE http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

Moving past 2 years, what do you usually let them watch? honestly.. My kids are 6 and almost 12. We don't have a TV. We occasionally get DVDs from the library and watch them on one of the computers. Both of mine use the computer. The 6-year-old is a big fan of nickjr.com, and my daughter likes neopets.com, among others. They both like youtube. Clisby |

DD didn't like that too much. She liked Teletubbies and Barney. They both liked Dora. Though you're getting more responses from people whose children don't watch tv, I don't think that's the norm. I don't see harm in tv, as long as it's not excessive, and I much preferred the channels that limit commercials when they are younger. |

My 3 yr old watches some things on PBS Kids and some videos/DVDs. She's
watching more than normal right now because she's trying to give up her nap, and has a hard time settling down and relaxing , and watching a piece of a Disney movie or a Dragon Tales episode that we taped earlier will usually get her to settle down and often sleep for 45 minutes or so-then be in a good mood the rest of the night, while just trying to get her to lie down in her room and take a nap leads to a cranky, upset child. She will sometimes watch the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet with me, too. |

ups.com: What do you let your kids watch - around the age of 3-5 years old? I'm trying to remember. When we lived in Norfolk, I know we had a TV in the bedroom (b&w). We got a color TV in California, but again I don't remember watching TV being something that we did much. When we moved to Key West they were 5 and 3. Most of the time they were playing outside. I do remember watching the Mexico City Olympics, and also the Rocky and Bullwinkle shows. We didn't have cable or sat-TV back then of course. It was all broadcast channels. Also no CDs and I don't then we had video tapes either. |
