my daughter does'nt have her meals without watching tv. she is just 2 years old.is that ok.
please help me. Alka replied. My daughter 21 mths old, too does not eat unless the TV is on & her favourite songs or Advertisements or her cartoon channel. Now i hv bought for her Nursery rhymes CDs which she sees & has her food. Or else its a no-no. But atleast she eats thats the satisfaction. latha replied. don't worry about their habbits. they don't last long. important thing is somehow make the kid eat the food. Riketa replied. Well even my one year six month old toddler does the same . I am also worried about his eyes getting spoiled. I try as much as I can to avoid showing him TV. But then when he just won't eat then I have to very grudingly put the TV. on, so that atleast he will eat something. I know I am encouraging him to do this. But I get real sad if he doesn't eat, so I guess I give in. So u r not alone in this . Everyone advices that he will eat if he is hungry, but I can't just leave him to do that. Munny replied. Hi Smita,
You are not alone. I have 2 yrs. old daughter too, and She doesn't eat without watching TV either. She watches Only PBS, but that way atleast she eats her food. I am not sure if I am right or wrong, but I am happy that she eats her vegge.

Thanks,
