I used to get my knickers in a twist when I walked into daycare at 6pm to find 5 or 6 children watching Barney - I even brought it up with the educational director.
At her new daycare/pre-school, they told us in ADVANCE that at the end of the day, on rainy days, they do indeed use some tv. I feel that telling me in advance helped to soften the blow. I've also realized that ultimately, it's what she does at HOME that has the most impact.
And when I'm stuck with my beloved cheeky all day long,and I'm tired, sick, and cranky, let me tell you how much I love me some "elmo on demand."
So for what it's worth, I'm coming to realize that the TV isn't such a bad thing afterall... ;)
