\nIngrid’s pretty much grown up without TV. Until now.\n<\/p>\n
\nOne evening last week, when she had skipped her nap and was cranky and tired (tired enough to say no to all kinds of activities but not tired enough to sleep), I sat down in front of a computer with her and turned on Teletubbies. She sat there as if she had been hypnotised, staring at the screen, totally happy.\n<\/p>\n
\nNow she is addicted. Almost every afternoon when we get home from nursery, she asks for Teletubbies. Sometimes she asks for Teletubbies as soon as we get up in the morning. When the one-hour episode ends, she asks for more. (We’ve limited it to one round, i.e. she can watch all of one DVD but only once, and only in the evening.)\n<\/p>\n
\nAnd by the way, that’s when she’s only seen one disc of a three-disc set. She’s perfectly happy watching the same one hour over and over again, day after day. I haven’t even mentioned the other two to her.\n<\/p>\n
\nToday something went wrong with the computer and there was no sound. No matter! Ingrid accepted silent Teletubbies, too.\n<\/p>\n
\nThis is how TV addiction starts, I guess…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
