I have an 18 month old who loves television. He woke up at 5 am this morning and cried for the TV to be put on. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I don't want to let him watch it, it's probably terrible for him at his age. Any ideas? [ Reply | More ]

yes, don't turn it on. if he's crying for tv, that's because you've been letting him watch it. [ Reply | More ]

Decide how much tv he can watch each day, and stick to that limit. Books, toys, or creative play all other times. [ Reply | More ]

either let him CIO or wake up and deal with him. but if you choose to wake up and don't want to turn on tv, then don't. you are in charge not the baby. give it a few days and he will get over it. [ Reply | More ]

Don't let the TV be on around him for a while. After a couple days he'll let it go. [ Reply | More ]

Sorry, this is just the beginning. If you give in to crying/whining, you teach him it's effective. I know, 5am your resistance is low, but save yourself for the long game. [ Reply | More ]
