[QUOTE="totoro, post: 215857, member: 3155"] We did not have cable for a long time. K was so amped all of the time especially at night. Out psychiatrist and therapist both said to us, "Why?" Well I just didn't think we needed it at the time and we could do so much more with out time. But by early evening, husband and I were so worn put and K was so lost with what was going on in her head that when we did slip on a movie, she would zone out and it would let her not think for a few minutes or an hour. She still can't stop moving most times. So after talking with psychiatrist and therapist and them laughing at us... we got cable. We limit what they watch. I do not let them watch anything too violent or risque. I am not into the older girl shows and I really do not like the shows that degrade women or make them look dumb. But K still likes Dora at times. I had to pick my battles on things like Sponge Bob! But after watching it he is basically harmless and is the underdog who wants to be the good guy... they also have just discovered. The Mighty B.. which I have to admit I think is very funny! She is a difficult child! So we watch with the kids and monitor very closely. Some nights it is no TV. But if K is very amped or having a pretty rough night, I basket C the TV and let her watch.
