Some cartoons that are age appropriate, some shows like the Waltons, etc. Until about 2 weeks ago he paid very little attention to it though. He is now wanting to watch Paw Patrol all the time but I limit it and have been turning the tv completely off at times when I feel he is too involved in it.
Got it.
I don't run a center either, we are just no longer allowed to operate like you do. Our regs mandate only 30 minutes of screen time per week (specific programming), none for under two, play centers, kid furniture, supply lists, curriculum, lesson plans, assessments, the works. It started with QRIS but then was worked into basic regulations.
You have a lot more freedom.
