Yay! Another no tv before age 2 family! We did the same. We were also in a condo then so it was outside everyday (I was a sahm then) just like you. Now, I have one outside kid and one inside kid despite this. Both ski and swim though so I guess it worked out.
Along with the thing about no tv in the household, I started doing a thing every day where I set a timer for 5 minutes and do nothing. Just sit there with my eyes open in bed and just sit and it literally feels painful without my phone lol so I think it’s awesome that you’re really putting in an effort to teach your son how to be bored and do things other than sit there and stare at a TV or a phone. Learning to be bored really is a skill especially if you live in a first world country where entertainment can be in your pocket. I think in the future, you’ll be super happy you started his life like this and he will hopefully be a more well rounded kid with a lot of cool hobbies and skills other that just knowing how to watch tv.
Keep up your determination to be a parent who keeps them unplugged & active, more often than not. I raised 6 kids, all without a TV for the most part. Occasional video games yes, and occasional Disney+ when they were older, (which I regret now) but we got enough books from the library to pay for the new wing, in late fees. 😂🤦🏻♀️ Children will whine and complain, anytime they get slightly bored. I don’t understand this generation of catering to a toddler’s /kid’s every whim. I took my kids on long walks until they were too old to sit in the stroller, meaning 4 or 5 (or they were too heavy to push!). The word “NO,” never hurt a child… But not teaching them to override their own self will, definitely does. You’re doing great! 🤍🙏🏼🤗

I just discovered your channel, I really love how you put everything together !💛 Also your voice is so soothing!
The library is an awesome resource for families! Took all three of my daughters through elementary school.
Love the things you shared about TV and the outdoors, etc.
I am also an outdoor child. Loved my childhood.
The black dashboard is beautiful! Love the refresh
My daughter only like walks in her wagon now lol. We never use the stroller.
Hi, where are the dashboards from? All cloth & paper? xx
Where did you get your card storage book?
Thanks for the share. I found it. Cloth and Paper Stationery December Monthly Subscription Box
