Opinion about how long Small children should watch tv?

[Deathie]

Have a kid then you'll understand why.

I've had to babysit my little brother since he was born, because both of my parents are educators in a city thats about three-quarters of an hour away, and don't normally get home until around 7PM or 8PM.

Close enough?

Close enough?

Nope. Not the same thing.

Until you have to give every waking moment to a child and surfer from only 3-6 hours a sleep a night 24/7 between cleaning, laundry, making food, doing the dishes and ect.... Babysitting will never compare to the actually fact of raising a child.

Because two hours makes a huge fucking difference.

There might be elements that seem the same

I'm not even going to get into this because the fact remains until you actually have a child and experience it you won't understand. I get you babysat your little brother for like 14 hours... but thats nothing compared to actually taking care of and watching.

but it's whole different ballgame

thank you

because of your comment "it's more the parents using the television as a supplement for a baby sitter, or actually interacting with them."

Well, its good to teach young kids alternative ways to spend time other than watching TV I guess?

I would say... Maybe 3 hours

I simply stated my opinion. No need to piss all over it.

Maybe I phrased it wrong, I was using past examples of when parents prologue exposure of the television to their kids, causing concentration issues such as ADD and ADHD.

I didn't piss all over it, i simple said "Have a child then you'll understand" As in then you'll understand why some parents allow their kids to watch more tv then other parents.

But you proceeded in posting and asked a question therefore i answered. if you can't take answers don't ask questions.

[Deathie]

if you can't take answers don't ask questions.

I don't need this.
I'm done here.
I stated my opinion.
