Have more kids ASAP - that will *normal* up the environment.

Playing, fighting, sharing and learning from one another. More fun than passively watching characters on TV with whom they cannot interact or touch.

For children, watching TV is very much like being a deaf mute on the outside looking in.

I’m chuckling a bit; we do have a little girl, who doesn’t find TV that arresting yet; she’s not two though, and a little brother is soon to arrive...

I suspect the siblings will indeed make a difference in this....

This is a very insightful statement. GoBucks - simply limit the time they get access to the TV and set the right example for them by not watching much. My 2 boys watch a little, but don't over do it. Watching The Masters is the right example, though! :-)
