Anyone have a TV in their 3 yr. old's room?

One of the grandparents wanted to buy one for Christmas, but I did not think it was necessary.

We have a TV but we do not have cable hooked up. We just use it play DVD'd when he is playing in his room, which is not that often.

DD is 2.5 and no TV - i dont think Ill let her have one in her room for quite a few yrs. I think 3 is too young to have a tv in the room. JMO

No and I dont plan on her having one in her room until she is a teenager- she can watch anything she needs to watch in the family room.

No and she never will....my parents had one for me when I was a kid, and I never spent time with the family...

They immediately took it out.

We have a tv, but it has no cable.

He only uses it to watch DVD's, and its usually when daddy is using the big screen

I have one in my 3yr olds rm. I don't have it on all day but sometimes I'll put a movie on and he also uses his smart cylce with it. I personally don't see a problem with having a tv.

Agree, but I doubt they'll even have a TV in their rooms when they're teenagers--but I'll cross that bridge...

I am the minority. DS has had a tv in his room since birth. I don't see a problem with it.

Re: Anyone have a TV in their 3 yr. old's room?

both my kids (age 3 and 1) have tvs...but my 1 year old never watches his, it was in there from when it was my DD old room...my 3 year old does watch it when she has "rest" time in the afternoons, she doesnt really nap but she has a little rest/down time and relaxes in her bed and watched usually a DVD for about an hour. That is the only time she uses it. Its not necessary but i guess its good to have.

Nope, he's addicted to TV enough as it is!! I think I'll hold off until HS.

Re: Anyone have a TV in their 3 yr. old's room?

I plan on putting a tv in DD bedroom for christmas (she's 2 1/2) but only because I wanted something in her room for when we have company. I have a ton of nieces and nephews and it seems that every weekend my living room tv is just for the kids. This way the tv in her bedroom can be for the kids and the adults can finally have a tv too.
I'm lucky though because dd is not a tv kid. she would much rather play with anything than watch tv.
