too much tv

Today I have been thinking about how things affect my girls...TV...surroundings etc.

I have been reading up on how TV affects children, and I tell you it doesn't look good. Don't get me wrong they are not glued to it constantly, but I do feel that when my oldest is asking me in the morning to watch cartoons it may be time to limit it.

She loves drawing and music, so I am trying to nurture these things while I can...before she goes into full time schooling. I don't want Ariana to get into the same pattern of TV watching, because I feel a bit like a lazy mum when I stick Bella in front of the TV just for 5mins peace.

I read an article recently that said too much TV for toddlers can be detrimental to their health and can cause depression and anxiety... Certainly not something I want for my girls. The funny thing is where I was younger we were not allowed to watch telly until the evening, so why is it something I do now?! But I tell you this much, it is not going to continue.. My girls will thank me for it.

Sorry to post such a different thing today, but unfortunately I can't help my brain :-) 

Happy weekend folks.
