- This week Sarah answers a viewer's question on how to eliminate screen time for her 20-month-old when her husband is not on board, and how to let babysitters know that you don't want the TV on.

I have one child that listens to stories intently, another who does not..she will actually play quietly, day dream, or sing quietly. I say, keep reading!! Sometimes she surprises me that she IS paying attention while playing w/a stuffed animal..!!
20 mth olds can live without tv..put on music, read while he/she plays with toys..build indoor or outdoor obstacles !! Super fun
I had the same conversation with my husband. I'm glad it isn't just me haha specifically the tv issue
Thank you for posting this. This has been such a hard topic to breach for us. We have had a rough stint since last fall with a lot of hospital stays and what else is there to do in a hospital for a 2 year old aside from put on another movie? So we got into a rut with just turning on a movie (and there are some really good ones out there!) Since we were relocated on short notice it has also been the only way I can get him to nap...what mom doesn't want that break? But I see him now only acting out those movies and it's concerning me that he isn't using his own words or thoughts with the characters. SO thank you. I don't know if it will be eliminated al together, but I am going to be making a severe effort to drastically minimize screen time.
Do you have any suggestions for setting up a wonderful outdoor play space for young children?
My name is Angela too and I seriously thought this question MUST have been written by me... but my oldest is 5 and this was posted 7 years ago. My mind is absolutely blown. Also thank you for this video.
I wouldn't worry about technology especially for this generation of kids. My partner's nephew and niece went to waldorf and flowed right into using tech when they became of age.
Sarah, I know this is and old video but what do you think about audiobooks? I was successful eliminating most of the TV time with the help of audiobooks, I am not sure if ai should go on and eliminate those too
As someone who has professionally taught coding:
Those concepts and skills don't go obsolete just because the box that the computer is in looks a little different today than the computer of yesterday.
Children who start on the basics and first principles (which work very well on old machines) will also do better long-term than those who are only trained on the latest trends.
It's been noted by smarter people than I, like some college professors, that today's coding students are often worse than those of past decades, because they didn't get that training on the simpler technology of the past, which did less hand-holding.
I'm not saying that your approach is wrong, but rather the basics of computer science and architecture don't change, and it possibly benefits children throughout their lives to have early exposure to those concepts. This doesn't mean that we need iPads or other distracting things in classrooms, but rather that children can gain a better understanding of technology by working with even a 1980s computer and learning how it runs and how to create something on it.
That said, I agree with and appreciate your point that TV often replaces imagination - this is often a problem even for adults, and smarter folks than me have written some great pieces on that topic and the dearth of ideas and desires that the current adult generation is experiencing as a result of their media consumption habits.
so it takes three days approx to de-program a child`s mind and free it
i recall a slogan (citing Marx and Hegel) from the 1980s ; "TV - the Opium of The People" - that makes total sense to me
TV ; circa 1940s-1980s = average viewing hours - VHS / Beta circa 1970s-mid 1990s = many added view hours - DVD circa 1990s-present = extensive viewing hours - the internet circa 1998-present - the total submersion of attention ad infinitum
for me, that equates to a slave
a slave to the system that presents itself as culture - and even reality
and people wonder why zombies are popular bogey men nowadays
TV seems akin to a virtual lobotomy - a cathode ray needle into the right hand brain - a light enduced zombie death - and how ironic, seeing as how we all seem to be the hunted zombies - rather than the heros of the piece
Hi there, I know this is an older video, but I have a question as to what to do with a young child in the car. My son has always been fussy in the car, usually never falling asleep. Hes almost 20 months and we have gotten into a bit of a habit of watching videos from my phone while he is in the car. I don't like to, but sometimes I can't even get him to sit in his car seat unless I mention putting on a video. I would love to have an alternative way of keeping him entertained or at the very least calm. I've been singing some songs he likes, which has helped. Just wondering if there was anything else I could be doing for peaceful tech free car rides. Thank you!
