The results are in from my four week tv watch. (Before you stop reading, I am refraining from stepping onto the tv soapbox. This was just an innocent study of the time my family spends watching television.) I always tell people, "we never watch tv" but was feeling like we actually watched more than I wished. So I kept an accounting of normal tv time over the last four weeks and here are our overall totals...
Matthias: 1 hour 20 minutes
James: 7 hours 15 minutes
Kristi: 1 hour 35 minutes
Which over a four week span works out to 20 minutes per week for Matthias, 24 minutes per week for me, and 1 hour 49 minutes per week for James. Honestly I little higher for James than I was hoping, but Taylor tells me I need to chill out.
This time includes all minutes watching the tv screen...be it a Jazz game, a Backyardigans dvd, a home video (which was 30 minutes of Matthias' time...amazed he sat through it all!), or Finding Nemo. All tv, dvd, etc was recorded. I don't believe tv is inherently bad, no. But I do believe that the world offers so much to enjoy and discover. Especially for these cute little boys of mine!! That, and we are all addicted to books which is our general entertainment of choice.
Other random numbers...
Largest amount of consecutive days with no tv...M: 9 days, J: 5 days, K: 12 days.
Total days (out of 28) with no tv...M: 24, J: 17, K: 23
Thus the statistics stand.
