I was thinking of having Charlie go a week without watching any YouTube or Netflix. I think it will be harder for me, than it will be for him!
When Charlie wakes up super early in the mornings, sometimes I will put on some Pocoyo and wrap my arms around him and try and sleep. I call it my rope-a-dope technique. I gotta stop doing that one.
Could you and your LO go a week without watching TV or videos?

Yes. I really don't watch TV at all. Plus we only have Netflix so its not like I have shows that I have to watch on certain days!

He is 4 today! We haven't had TV for a couple years now. It was hard at first, I missed my shows, but now we don't really notice! He also knows that we don't have TV, so it isn't that big of a deal to him either. Its pretty nice actually!

@Rosie Girl: We don't ever watch TV either... Charlie only ever really watches videos on the computer.

@mrbee: I have never been one to watch videos on my computer, so I have never thought to let DS either! I am addicted to my computer though, that would be hard to give up for a week! Its the only way I get to see the news etc!

We don't have a TV, though we do stream news sometimes after LJ goes to sleep. We do stream videos for her a couple of times a week, but she doesn't miss it if we don't do it.

I have no interest in going without TV for myself. I love TV!

Lo could, she has no interest in tv yet. Me on the other hand ...that would be rough!

I think I'd die, just a little bit. I never realized how reliant I am on having some kind of visual stimulation until our cable box broke and the company couldn't come to repair it for 2 weeks. We had our DVD's in storage and I thought about crying pretty often- haha, just kidding (kinda). We ended up playing games though, old school board games and iPad games.. we survived. LO wouldn't even notice, she's only 5.5 months

I could definitely go a week or more without TV. My husband on the other hand could not. He is addicted. He says he needs it to fall asleep at night. I think a radio would work just fine!!

We don't have tv, we do watch on the computer. It would be harder in the winter than summer since I like to bike inside and watch a show or clean and watch a show (in the summer I'm more efficient about getting done and getting outside), but we go a decent amount without TV so it wouldn't be a big deal.
