As a matter of fact, we did. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but I was surprised that it was my 3-year-old who had a harder time with it than my 9-year-old. When the TV is on, my toddler seldom “watches” what is on. It is usually background noise to another activity. It caught me off guard (1) how often she asked to turn it on; and (2) how upset she was with my persistent “no.” And her first request this morning was to watch a show. I’m wondering how long it will take her to change that part of her routine.
I’m also contemplating if I will relax the rule when the weather doesn’t cooperate. The weather here is predicting a couple of stormy days. We did get a trip to the park in this morning. Not sure that will be available tomorrow. Looks like I may be researching indoor places to burn energy. Any suggestions?
