Nap Time Policy

[MunchkinWrangler]

Hey, we all do what works for us.
There is no right or wrong.

I agree with some shows teaching kids good stuff but I also believe there isn't anything a TV show can teach that I can't teach in a more appropriate and fun manner.....and it's not the content (of the TV shows) that I am against; it's the lighted movement, immediate gratification and the zombie-like trance that electronics create that I have issues with.

I use plenty of electronics when relaxing too but my brain is not in the middle of it's formative years....the zombie-trance is very welcomed after a long day doing what we (providers) do all day.

I don't take SA anymore but when I did, I can see how TV could have been a useful tool to occupy them. I don't fault ANY provider for doing whatever they need to do to survive (I mean manage) SA kids in care. ::

I get it. Didn't mean to get snippy, I read back and was like...yeah that had more attitude in it than I meant.

If I did have a choice, my daycare area wouldn't have a tv either but I share my daycare space with my home.

I admit, on a rainy day when we run out of things and we can't get outside sometimes we'll have a movie and treat time. The kids are always dancing around and acting out the movie.

ditto- but I meant literally we have no TV so that just isn't an option here. Not just that I don't let the littles watch it.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have a shared space because I wouldn't have access to a tv either.
