NO TV: Kids Fasting From TV For A Week

_{Started by Trench Mommy , author of From The Trenches Of Motherhood} _{4/26/2010 10:41:42 AM}

Have you ever turned of the TV for a period of time?

I just made my kids fast from TV for a week and it actually went well. Read about it here in my short post.

I would love to know if anyone else had done this and how it went for you? Or maybe you want to and need to know it's possible!

Just read your post....I couldn't even imagine a whole week without TV...not just for my toddler, but for me, too!! You are stronger than I am ;)

Unfortunately, and I'm a little afraid to admit it, I use TV throughout the day to keep my toddler busy when I am trying to take care of the 8 month old twins. It's easy to say "go watch TV for a little bit please". Maybe I could do it for a few hours...maybe even a day, but no way a week.

My hat's off to you!

Trying it for a few hours or for just a day would be a great start. Today the kids could watch TV and only Micah wanted to and that was while the girls were at school. They played house this afternoon and I've seen a big increase in their imagination play. Not that they weren't already...but it's even more so now!
