My grandkids are allowed much less TV time than my kids. As long as they were watching something like Sesame Street or a Disney movie I often let them watch. My grandkids, who are under 5, get very limited screen time, either TV or IPad.

Grandkids are more advanced in knowing alphabet, shapes and other beginning concepts than my kids were at the same age. They go to a group daycare 3 days a week and spend 2 days with me and grandpa, while mine were at an in home daycare daily. They got loving care and became good friends with the carer's kids, but didn't spend as much time on learning concepts as they do in the group setting.

More restrictions on sweets than we enforced. My kids ate healthy but I was more lenient with things like cookies.

My son did not have a 47” color television in his bedroom, his own telephone, with a connecting full-size bathroom, plus a computer, plus all the electronic console games . Wow! I did not have any of those things when I was growing up.

Plus, my grandchildren have their own Apple IPADs and their on Apple cellphones. My grandson and granddaughter are blessed and are well mannered grandchildren.

Both are college graduates and one is a Lieutenant in the Coast Guard.
Both are debt free from college. No loans, both were on academic scholarships.

Time out kids are going to be a problem in the future
No real consequence to an action

They will just be getting out of there booster seats in time to start learning how to drive
