OK - I need some help from all you parents out there! I know Zachary is only 4 1/2 months old, but he simply LOVES looking at the television. You see, I am the type of person who can not stand silence. I even sleep with the TV on. So when I am playing on the floor with Zachary, the television is on.
Well, yesterday I realized it may be a problem when I was trying to get Zachary to look at me and smile for a picture. I had him sitting in his chair with his back to the television. He tried EVERYTHING to stare at it. He leaned over backwards so much, I'm surprised he didn't fall over. I took a video of it down below. Anyway, what am I supposed to do? Should I be worried at this point, or chalk it up to that he is still an infant and he just likes the shapes and colors?
He is aways turning his head to sounds though - so maybe that is it - right? And no, he does not cry or get upset if the TV is not on - just loves to stare :)
You hate for television to be a 'babysitter'. I know when I grew up, I did not watch that much television. Funny - because now I probably watch too much. Am I a bad mom? AAHHH - someone give me some thoughts on this!
