I want to start limiting tv time but I feel like he won't play for 8 to 12 hours a day. What do you do?

[HelpfulWoman]

i'm lucky we have a shit tonne of parks near us so we can just walk to those. otherwise books, flash cards, colouring etc.

What did you do when they were babies? Like 10 months?

[HelpfulWoman]

all the rattling toys. chat shit to them/still read stories.

[Asker]

So no tv?

[HelpfulWoman]

you said you wanted to limit tv time. i'm giving options to do so.

Kids used to play for hours with a stick. I think that they will be fine without TV. Maybe you can give them a book or two. My Teacher is an Alien is a classic kid series.

Have you tried a jumper swing?

[Asker]

We have a jumper that's on stands not a swing. But he doesn't even like being in that too long. We also have a walker... he's crying in that too

Blocks? Noise making toys?

[Asker]

We have the toys. But I wasn't sure if he'd play for 12 hours long without getting bored lol

[shortster]

Maybe not 12 hours straight. He probably needs to eat something and take a nap or two.

Of course. I was using sarcasm. Lol
