Far from a perfect parent, I assure you. I never espouse to be the perfect parent. But, tv for BABIES? A four year old? For sure, but not babies.
I’m obviously in the minority here, but how did we get to the point where tv for babies is even thought of as an option to entertain them? They have no consciousness or desire for tv until we put it in their hands.
I figure it’s to pacifying kids, to keep them docile. Kids are neither, and it’s often uncomfortable and difficult, but that’s part of the deal with kids.
Anyway, I’ll bow out now, but I will say that it’s more than possible to keep babies and small children entertained on long car rides. The trick is to never give them tv as an option in a car. They are resourceful. They’ll figure it out.
. Entertaining kids in a pinch has been happening for awhile now, there's way more creative ways than a 'longer movie'. But I digress... Back to the regularly scheduled talk of longer movies.
