Children as young as three years old can plan by drawing pictures of the show they plan to watch. You can develop Toddlers TV
and toddler video rules for home from baby university. Please make sure that as a parent you follow them as well and be consistent. You can come up with some rules as for example, TV only on weekends, no TV before school, no TV after dinner, no violent shows, etc. This plan of action will be more effective if you develop these rules with your child because she/he will feel that her/his voice is heard. The more meaningful and understandable a rule is for a child, the more likely it will work. Watch television together as a family when you can. Talk about what your child sees on the television. Parents are role models for their children. So refrain from making television your prime source of recreation. This will encourage your child to look for other options rather than watch television for recreation.
