For a multitude of reasons my husband and I made a joint decision never to own a tv at home. Not that we ban all media..just no TV. My daughter's got the internet for her entertainment,screened and for just about an hour after school, and as a result is not addicted to any one programe. When I do see her getting too attached to something I halt that under some pretext. I've already seen the effect of excessive tv on other members of our families's kids so never want to make the same mistake, Inshallah!
