I'm a bad mom. Ryan is up and watching his second movie of the day, Mr. Limpet. Remember Don Knotts? It's the one where he becomes a cartoon fish. Typically, one movie is all he gets unless it's a weekend. Just like it's harder for Ry to learn, it's more difficult for him to process all those visual images before he goes to bed. Really, it's not good for any of us.
I hate to give in on extra television but I get a little me time and honestly, we all do it. I think the trick is to limit the viewing and allow exceptions. It's not like he's a young child and I know he doesn't watch as much as a lot of other kids but tv isn't always the best influence on him.
I'm not anti-tv, just cautious. Ryan is hard of hearing and relies heavily on visual input. Just like anything else overindulgence isn't healthy. Do you limit your kid's watching? Do your children have tvs in their bedrooms? How much tv is too much?
Take care of you. G'nite and God bless.
Karen
