NO TV

Ever wondered a world without TV?

Gone were the days that we pacify our kids with watching tv, movies and playing computer just to make them stay put in one place at huwag manggulo. But now almost the whole day, no TV.

What do they do then? From school that is around 315pm when they get home, they eat, then eat and eat. No kidding... They probably eat rice 2-3 times, up until 7pm and have snacks as well. In between that time and before going to sleep at around 8pm, they do their homework, play with each other, read books, play with toys, draw a lot and ask me a lot of things as well.
It works, I think as of now. They only watch a little bit of TV on the weekends, that is if me or my husband turns it on without them even requesting it....

I hope this thing lasts.... :-)

that's great cindy! especially for family bonding... they're way below the recommended 2 hours a day limit (including video games and computer time) imposed by our pediatrician. personally i think some tv is good, especially the animal shows and documentaries...kuno. :)

yes te,tama ka dyan, ok yung mga documentaries and animal shows... pag madami na talaga akong ginagawa, sinasabi ko manood na sila ng tv, ayaw pa rin. pag weekend ang lagi nila akong kinukulit na gawin yung experiments dun sa experiment book nila. tapos gusto din nila mag tea party. they most of the times are good kids and sometimes they also stress me out. sabi ko nga kukulot na ang straight hair ko sa kakulitan nila... hahaha... :-)
