TV Addict
Rayner Boy is really a TV Addict. He watches Barney or brainy baby, etc everyday, without fail.
It can be good for brain development through visual perception, as well as being bad for the eyes if too much exposure to TV light radiation.
So, we need CONTROL! Control works by rewarding them to watch TV when they behave well enough, or (for older child) if they had done their homeworks. TV can works as a helper to keep them busy for a while the adults can do their stuff.
Information from a webpage, that watching television will also reduces family dialogue between adults as well as between parents and their children.
The child might develop a habit of waking up in the morning watching television, going to school and returning home to watch more television until bedtime.
In this case, there is no time for meaningful interactions between the parent and the child. In some extreme cases, children who are developmentally slow might not develop proper communication and socialisation skills.
