Even then she only had about 20 mins of patience in her to sit still long enough to watch Sesame Street. She's now classified as gifted- especially in reading and language. My babies are 1.5 and they also do not have an interest in TV. I tried Baby Einstein- nothing. I tried Teletubbies and Sesame Street- nothing. So we're going with that. I keep them entertained while doing chores by bringing them along with me as I do them. It takes longer, but it gets done. I hand them a towel and they "clean" the floor or cabinets. They help me load the dryer. It's cute, actually. For phone calls, I just get out a box of toys they haven't seen in a long time and that keeps them occupied. There's certainly ways to avoid TV. But I think everything is ok in moderation. My 4 year old can't get enough of her animated shows now, so we really have to limit her to one hour of TV time a day. And NO adult shows, ever. We never watch TV in front of her. We watch TV when she goes to bed. Anyway, that's my example. Let's see if the babies end up gifted and maybe there's something to this after all!

What do you think about the available alternatives that can keep the baby busy with doing something? Waiting for 2 years sounds like a long time :) AxeCitys last blog post..<a href="http://www.designinterval.com/25/tools-and-tips-for-a-successful-blog/" rel="nofollow">Tools and tips for a successful blog</a> I can guess how parents might feel when they know that TV isn’t a solution anymore by leaving their babies under age of 2 to watch it while having their things done.
