Actually its not, my child use to do that when she was young i asked the Doctor and her eye doctor and they said with the old TV that may have been true but with today's improvements with TV and other stuffi ts not. i cant remember. They say it is no more dangerous for them to sit that close than it is for them to go outside with no shoes on. Ask your eye doctor they will explain in better detail. and to get them to stop watching TV, then turn it off.

Tell him/her that you are born with an amount of vision and each time you stand too close to the TV you use up some of it (like cookies in the jar). Mine used to put the TV sound really loud and I used this and it pretty much worked. (I think she was 4 then).

you are the parent take the authority. your three year old is subject to what you decide is best for him/her and how you enforce it...yes it can be harmful to the eyes. i wish my parents had forced me or dragged me away from the tv when i was younger. as it was already genetically determined for me to have poor eyesight i inevitably got glasses when one day i was told to sit far from the tv the horrible shock of being unable to see anything was more than i could bear!
i then realized the value of ur eyesight. and especially at such a young age. this is when u can instill good habits within the kid. make good tv viewing habits a priority as well.

Yes it can damage your eyes, my three year old son does the same thing , I tell him no and pull his chair back and when he jumps up and screams at me and sits on the floor right in front of the t.v. I turn the t.v. off and I make him leave the room.

big myth honey. try not turning the tv on. if he does it, tell him no tv. at 3yrs old he should understand that unless he has delays or other issues, good luck

Put his/her fanny on the couch and say 'Stay!" And if she/he doesn't...then turn it off. That might teach him/her a lesson...if you do it enough times.

Tell him/her that he/she will go blind if he/she stands that close
