Redirecting Kids Away From the T.V.
I have to admit, I love it when my kids sit down to watch a show on t.v. They’re happy and entertained and I have a little time to get dinner made, a load of laundry folded, or just sit and surf the web. Altough it may seem wonderful we really shouldn’t let our kids veg out in front of the t.v. all day everyday. If your child is constantly asking to watch t.v. try redirecting them by suggesting other activities. You might offer to get out the paint, or go for a walk. Other suggestions could be building a fort together or inviting a friend over. Kids love to feel in control and when they choose the next activity they are leaving the t.v. without you sounding like the big bad parent telling them no all the time. When offering suggestions plan wisely and be prepared to do the activity they may choose. You don’t want to find yourself taking a walk when it’s 20 degrees outside.
