We always seem to have the TV on. I do monitor what I have on-no more Forensic Files, Law & Order SVU etc. If I put on cartoons (My Friends Tigger & Pooh, Imagination Movers etc) DD may watch for a few minutes but as for long enough for me to get something done-forget it!
It is true, no TV is recommended until age 2 or 3 (our daycare does not allow it until age 3).
You are not hindering your child from learning by not letting them watch TV! I don't think my DD has learned anything from the TV. The only thing she is now starting to recognize is if someone on TV is cheering and clapping she gets excited because we taught her how to do that and she sees someone else doing it. She has more interest in shows that have music-loves to dance and jump around.
IMO a little TV is ok but if they start taking interest in it versus other things I would shut it off.
