One of the biggest challenges

One of the biggest challenges


One of the biggest challenges with raising children this way is fighting the temptation to use the TV as a babysitter. I admit that I do put on “Curious George” once in a while to help settle the boys while I get supper made, but I don’t like to do it.Learn more about Largest Discount tagheuerwatchesstoresaleonline,

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that children under 2 watch no television, while young children watch no more than one to two hours per day of “educational, nonviolent programs” with adult supervision.

We prefer they watch DVDs or programs that we've reviewed and approve. We also leave the TV off when more important activities are happening, like homework or family time. When we visit other people and they have the television on, my kids sit there mesmerized. You would think they’d never seen a TV before.We will introduce Baume Mercier relojes replica to you.

What bothers me most is when my kids say, “I’d like to watch this movie today” or,replicahublotwatchretailer offer high quality brand watch, fashion designer . “this is what we’re going to watch when we get home” as though it’s a given that we'll be turning the television on. If it’s a nice day out, I tell them we’re not going to watch TV, and instead we’ll go to the park,watchwholesalers can offer you wholesale pricing on name brand designer watches like Seiko, or spend some time outside with them riding their bikes. This is harder in the winter, because you can’t always go outside. But instead of just getting up in the morning and putting on the television, we plan other activities.

We play board games, have a dance party,Buy Iwc schaffhausen iwc from iwcwatchesshop. and maybe even make cookies. We’ll do arts and crafts, or maybe make a big trick track layout and race the cars around the house. Best of all, we have play dates with other friends, which can easily make a morning or afternoon fly by.

None of this is not to say that our parents raised us wrong, or to criticize people who watch more television than we do. It's not about right or wrong, it's about doing what's important to us, making a conscious choice and sticking by it, deciding what to let into our lives and what not to.
