There is one I like that he watches called Chuggington,it's like a modern Thomas the Tank engine.

We are on to Ninjjago (lego characters) and The Teenage Ninja Turtles. If I get one more (unexpected) punch in the bollix from my two the TV is going out the window.

Mrs CD and I banned the oul TV altogether there about 3 months ago as my 4 year old was becoming obsessed. Best thing we ever did. TV room is closed and locked and used as a treat - once a week or so. The kids have stopped asking about it and are playing around the house very happily - going to be a long oul winter without it!

Jesus bit harsh alright.

Weekdays they are allowed 1 hour in the evening in my house. At weekend TV is turned off at 10am and not back on till 6pm ish where we all sit down together for a family movie either Sat or Sun.

I'd say that would be the ideal Dinny - that's what I'm aiming for. Thought a bit of Cold Turkey before a gradual reintroduction was the thing.

I wired a house a few years ago and the guy had 3 daughters under 6.
He wanted Tv points in each of their rooms and then got me to put up LCD TV's in each room during 2nd fixing.
I wasn't even a parent then and I thought it was madness.

I presume the parents are also on cold turkey?

Are they banned from internet access as well?

Absolutely - it's been great - no Downton, Xfactor or Strictly for us!

Obviously the internet is needed for work purposes and beats the ban. Ahemm.
