@missnearingsmontessori: My goals as a parent are intentional playtime. That means removing the background distractions of TV so I don’t get distracted and can be fully invested in playtime as well! #screenfreekids #montessori #montessorimom #newmom #montessoriathome
Do you play music in place of tv or is it quiet all day? We usually have music playing lightly all day with no tv until the evening.

thank you! both my mom and my mother-in-law put the TV on in the background 24/7 when they're babysitting my nieces and it drives me insane.

I disagree with this. Sort of. I’m a teacher and I am Gen X. Gen X grew up, at least most of us, with a television or radio on constantly. It was not necessarily on for us, mostly for our parents. I think that kids today don’t have the attention span to sit and watch a movie most likely due to too much Screen Time such as iPads or laptops. They do not necessarily have a television on all the time at home.

I had a teacher in middle school that would show a boring movie 98% of the time and we had to take a certain amount of notes

Yes 100%. To the point I won’t do it again. They are only interested in short clips.

As GenX, I can tell you my house was noisier. We ALWAYS had a TV on in the livingroom and basement, and a radio playing in the kitchen and every bedroom (4). My dad loved talk radio (he grew up listening to serials). Our parents were some if the 1st gen to have The Pill. So they grew up with 11 siblings. If a house was quiet, it unnerved them. 1970s, 1980s it was noisier. Until the walkman became popular, and headphones became the norm. My 94 yo mom STILL runs TVs 24/7.

Agreed but the children who don’t get TV time can’t keep their eyes off it when it’s on.
