Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 tee hee~ I don't mean to laugh but my son who is 11 and a half is totally addicted to videos, he not only wants to watch them all day, he wants to rewind and play the same part over and over, i let him do it for awhile then i work on something else with him, maybe his flash cards, cuddling, tickling, or painting, but if he had his way he would do it 24/7 when he was not at school.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 My 7 year old daughter has developed a bad habit within the past few months - she wants to watch a few specific videos on television to the total exclusion of all other activities and I am really concerned about it. All attempts to distract her usually fail, and she will just sit on the sofa and do nothing if we turn the tv off. Has anyone else been through this, and what recommendations do you have for changing this behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 I had to laugh when I read Vi's reply. My son who is 6 also wants to rewind the same parts of the video over and over. I did it for a while, but it really got out of hand. He likes to have videos on all of the time but he usually doesn't watch them constantly he just wants them on for background while he is playing. If I shut them off though it's like he doesn't know what to do with himself. I think it is a comforting for him. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
