60 Minutes A Week Of Screen Time: Here Is How I Did It

A couple of days ago my older daughter asked me if the animals of Bangalore had come to Mumbai. At first, I was very confused. Then I figured that she had been watching a nature show on TV. She’d seen a similar show while she’d been visiting her grandparents. It made be happy that she hasn’t yet figured out how television channels work. I’d like to think it’s her lack of exposure to the idiot box that makes her that naïve. There are a few things that drive me crazier than watching kids sitting in front of a screen – immobile, consuming, often meaningless, drivel. I don’t mean to judge but it’s not really the job of the TV or the iPad or the laptop to bring up our children or educate our children, as I’ve often heard claimed as being the case.
