Granted, we've only had our kids for 5 months, but we don't let either of them watch TV or movies yet. (Our daughter is 2 and our son is 8.5 months). For me, I'd rather have the kids interacting with us than with the TV. It's a lot harder and a lot more energy draining on us (and I'd never be able to do it as a SAHM or a single parent), but we make it work. Also for me, it's a precaution for MYSELF. I could see myself relying on TV as a crutch - SO much easier to plop my needy 2 y.o. in front of the TV rather than try to get her to find something else to do ... I don't want to give myself that option before it's necessary, you know?
