Tv

[JCrakers]

Ive had it on a lot during the school holidays. Dont know what I would have done without it. DVD's and TV as a 10hr day with children aged over 6yrs is relly hard without a break. PLus all parents agree that these holidays are to rest and enjoy.

When the children are at school I only have it on for quiet 20mins while some children sleep and 3-4yrs old atch a bit of TV so littler ones can get off to sleep.

I don't tend to put in on for mindees but do state to parents, especially those who have a no tv rule, that when my own kids come home from school if they want to watch tv then they can

I put it on for about half an hr after lunch. Then it might go on for a bit after school for the younger school kids, especially like now when they are just getting used to new routines and full days at school. Never just in the background, if they aren't watching it goes off.

This is what I do. Little one has it on after lunch as she has a sleep and helps quieten her down. It goes on for school kids but they sometimes don't watch so I just turn it off.

i have tv which just plays dvd's in playroom. some weeks we dont have it on at all, other times we will put peppa pig or thomas on for 30mins as a treat.

I have tv on wall in kitchen, some days (again as a treat) i will put it on after lunch for 15mins. have one mindee going home then and others go for nap when she has gone. it is good way to calm them down before home/nap.

I dont think it does any harm for short periods but hate having tv on all the time in background, just adds to noise for me. Mindees know if they dont sit quietly at tv/dvd time it will go off

As a rule my tv doesnt go on. Sometimes either me or mindees just need a little down time so it does then though x

You don't have a TV or a child who likes TV?
