In my case I would ask what counts as screen time. We have a great children's music channel on our cable. I turn it on after lunch for naptime and leave it on the rest of the day. It's music and a couple dozen changing pictures (birds, toys, flowers, etc.) It gives me access to a lot of different music for the kids. Does that count as screen time? What about allowing school agers to use my computer to research for homework? Oye
Computer, ipad, etc. counts as screen time here and is not allowed for infants at all. What has happened here is the QRIS FCCERS-R book guidelines are being placed in the licensing rules. So this TV rule and many other rules are changing in many states. The TV one isn't a biggie to me but the magnitude of expectations/guidelines here is a biggie. I expect many states to follow. Just like the original poster said, licensing said the rules would "never happen"...well, I have been told that so much here, I don't believe that anymore. IT IS HAPPENING! Like I said the TV rule is no biggie to me but be expected for crazier things to follow!
