bad. The kids I have the most problems with in my class have a TV in their bedroom. The kids complain school is boring. Or they come to school tired cause they snuck up in the middle of the night and turned their tv on. Some parents allowed their kids to fall asleep with the TV in cause they fall asleep faster, these kids always seem tired at school. they just don't get a restful nights sleep. and as they get older and lock themselves awayt in their room, you as a parent loose control over what is going on in their lives. I know alot of teens that have a computer in their room, and what they do in the net is scary. limit exposure to media and you will be doing your child an acedemic and social favor.

My husband and i have had this discussion as well. We decided it was a bad idea for our children. Insted we opted for a TV in their playroom that they are allowed to watch when we choose and what we choose. We did not want them "dependant" on TV for going to bed, and we did not want them watching it anytime they want, only when we chose. They know how to turn on the TV in the playroom but if i feel its been on enough, it goes off and stays off. They dont seem to mind much. For us, it works out good. I had a TV in my room growing up though but i think in a way, it wasnt the best idea, because now as an adult i can NOT go to sleep without the TV on. Just my own expeirences though. You get the final decision.

I wouldn't do it. If my kids had TVs in their rooms I don't know how much I could monitor the time spent "plugged in" as well as the type of programming they are exposed to. I try and limit my kids to 30-60 minute chunks of TV time at a time, with no more than 3 hours a day (the doctor says no more than 2 hours).

I don't necessarily think it is a bad idea. My son had a TV set in his room at three, but there was no cable and he could only watch videos that I would put in-- so I got to control how much TV he was watching. I never put the TV on at bedtime because I didn't want to start bad sleeping habits.

I thought it was a bad idea at first to put a tv in my son's room when he was 3. we decided to try it with very strict rules. At first it was bad he wanted to watch it all the time, turned it on at night etc..then when i took all his movies away and unplugged it he learned his lession. now he seldom watches it and it is very controlled. Only 1 hr if even a day now after school. He is now 4. Just set rules and keep them. Take away movies/tv if not followed.

My mother, who works with children, always told me that having a TV in my room isn't good for children's minds. Having a TV in your young daughter's room may not be the best for her development, and what is she going to be watching in her room that she can't watch anywhere else in your house?
I think that this TV should be taken elsewhere in your house.
