10-15 minutes if that, and only if we've got a little downtime before heading out in the morning.

We've been watching something pretty much constantly for the past week due to being quarantined (flu) at home. Like you, my littles don't actually watch it all the time but they do like to pause in their play, listen, and watch. And I've been shifting to music about midmorning to try and offset my mom guilt. But at this point I call it survival.

If we're sick, all day, lol. If we're not sick, maybe an episode or two depending on how the evening goes.

If she's home sick, I will let that TV be on all day if it keeps her resting/laying down and relaxed.

Normally she gets about 1 1/2 hours a day. I let her watch 20 minutes in the morning (while I finished getting ready/get lunches packed/ect.) and then she watches a little at daycare. We allow her one episode at night as well to help her unwind before we start bedtime routine.

Sadly weekends are a bit more since we are usually home all day, we are really working on doing other activities on weekends and during the night since she's becoming a couch potato and "demanding" her show on...not going to happen kiddo!

It depends on the day usually, sometimes he gets none, sometimes he gets 1 30 min show usually MMC and some iPad time. During the worst weeks of my nausea/fatigue he was getting up to an hour, 1.5 hours some days.

@Bao: My LO is in daycare most of the day, She's 18 months and right now, with my morning sickness she gets about an hour. I made a new rule with myself to not turn on the TV till 6 pm, so I can make dinner for LO. At 6:30 she eats in the kitchen, but I leave the TV on the Goodnight Show on Sprouts while she eats, so about an hour total right now.

Hopefully when I'm feeling better, I'll go back to interacting with her while I make dinner.

Generally, none. On Sundays, we put football on but that's about it.

Too much. I'm a SAHM and in the Pacific NW, it's pretty much rain from October - May, so...

I personally don't watch much TV, so it's easy for me to keep it off. During the week, when it's just her & me, she probably watches a couple episodes of My Little Pony, Super Why, or Sofia the First while I'm cooking or trying to do housework. If I really have to get something done, I'll turn on Frozen or Lion King. I would say she probably gets about 2 hours during the weekday?

My husband likes to have the TV on as background noise, so on the weekends, it's usually turned on to football all day

Weekdays they get none. They're barely in the house awake anyway. We leave for daycare at 6:40am and we're back in the house at 5:30pm, dinner, bath, bed.

Weekends I'm very lax. We try to get big chunks of time with no screentime. Otherwise we let them eat in front of the tv, we take the tablet with us when we're out and about.

When they're sick, all bets are off. TV and tablet all day every day.
