Raising Children:How to control TV watching?

2009-04-15

Name: Alps Batra I live in a joint family. My in-laws and my husband, everyone if fond of watching TV. Everyone has their own choice of programs (eg Father-in law watches news channels, MIL watches all serials/soaps and husband watches movies, film reviews)
My daughter (6 years old) is also becoming a TV buff slowly. She watches all of these as well as cartoons!!

Once she is back from school (around 2:00 pm), she sits with my MIL and follows some serials, followed by cartoons for her own self. I(t switches only when my FIL is home and pleads to switch the channel to news/headlines.....
Even at dinner, the family is watching TV...

On weekends, again everyone indulges and \" over\" watches their favourites.... resulting in a non-TV time of only nearly 2 hours (when I force ie lock her in a room and make her study).

I am totally against watching TV, but am unable to help the situation as I cannot ask anyone to stop. Moreover, I am working , so am back home only around 7:00...

Kindly suggest some amicable solution....

Yeah, i fully agree with you hamsapriya. It really pays off to find some place that offers afterschool activities. But i feel, the parent, if had initiated the child into reading, she shouldn´ t be hooked on to the tv.
