We try not to watch too much television around here. That's a big step for me, because I'm a certified TV junkie, especially daytime TV. It used to be on all day when Jackson was an infant, but these days, there is very little TV watching going on, because once it's turned on, Jackson tunes out. He's addicted to television, and will drop whatever he's doing to watch. Of course, he'll only watch for a few minutes and then he gets bored and moves on, but inevitably, he gets drawn back into the tube.
I do let him watch one show a day, Super Why. It's an "educational" show about reading and problem solving and I don't feel too bad about letting him watch it. Until I look over and see the boy like this:
When he zones out like this, I have to turn it off because there's nothing I can do to get his attention. And I think it might be bad for his eyes.
