going out- groups, farm,walks
My lb is 15 months, we try and spend the morning out the house (park, group, shopping etc) or house work and set up activities for him and then we are home for lunch and nap, after nap we keep it chilled, so tv and free play before we set off at 3 for a walk to get his sister, usually tv will go on when we get back in around 3:45 and my 7 year old girl will have Barbie or something on and my lb will play with her and watch Barbie whilst I cook dinner. After dinner we try and keep it screen free, lots of ‘rough’ play, books and bath xx
I am comfortable with having the TV on the majority of the day, but if I leave it on I usually put instrumental music on or ghibli or calming relaxing music so no shows. Obviously lots of outside time, park and be involved with the little one.
Is he 1? 2? 3? Happy to suggest stuff but would good to know his age- my best tip regardless is to go out and stay out as long as possible to limit screen time- also adult tv won’t hurt him - so don’t feel guilty about watching your shows - as long as they’re not full of adult themes - ‘grown up tv’ will go over his head if he’s very young - it’sreally only too much kids tv that is the main issue re screen time
