My children aren't really that interested in tv yet, I said 1 to 2 hours just because I have the tv on most of the day and they watch the screen while I feed them the rest of the time they could care less. If they do become interested I plan to limit the time that they watch it to no more than a hour and a half a day but that will depend on their age and grades. I will not let them play video games in my home unless it is a learning one like Vtech or something along those lines. No violent video games or tv for my two little ones. I beleive that children are healthier if they play out side weather permiting.

It's closer to 2-1/2 hrs. It used to be much more. I am trying to lessen the habit.

well my son loves this show wow wow wubbzy,he can watch it all day long,if i let him,but i let him watch a couple of episodes,then put his toys in front of him,turn tv off,cause it playtime..then well turn the radio on and dance,then maybe later at dinner time he can watch some cartoons,he enjoys tom & jerry too,im trying to keep his tv tome to no more than 2hrs.but sometimes its hard to do so especially when i need to get chores done around the house and paul doens't wanna stay put with his toys,so ill turn the tv on with my shows or him to keep him entertained til im done:)

It's my 13 yo boys that only watch an hour or 2 but not daily only a couple of shows a week with me. My 17 month old could care less about TV so I don't even have cable we only watch House MD Fringe and American Idol.

We don't watch TV at all, but we have dvd's of kid shows and movies. Some days we don't watch any. Other days it seems like it's on all day, but my 2.5 yo rarely watches for more than 30 min at a time.

We only do Television, computers, and/or video games on weekends. Zero access on weekdays except research on the computer for school.

my tv is on all day mainly for sound BUT my son only watches maybe 2 hours a day...I'm more attached to it than he is, he could do without it.

Our TV is on almost all the time, but the kids almost never sit and watch it. My daughter loves shows like the Wiggles or Hi-5 and dances along a lot though.
