I did give them a daily schedule and it does vary on how many kids are here or the weatherbut I only have pbs or animal planet on in the morning for the kids who have finished breakfast and waiting for the others who haven't. When they are all done tv goes off for free play. Some days I will turn it on for the 5yr old dcg when the littlest ones are down for a nap and she doesn't feel tired but needs to be quiet. I have told dcf repeatedly about sturdy shoes for outside play and that I don't have the tv much at all. The day she sent them with no shoes I sent a note home asking mom and dad to please read the contract - my handbook again. Dcg is very behind academically. She had health issues. Wad taken out of preschool after only a couple months and didn't make it to kindergarten this year. They want me to get her caught up so I try to work with her but also give her playtime. But she tells me at home all her and dcb do is watch tv and movies. Parents drive you crazy!
