[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 215933, member: 2459"] Marg has some good points but I also believe that if something is acting as a trigger or agitator....remove or restrict it wheneve possible. With my difficult child it wasn't so much tv itself but what he watched. He delighted in repeating the most obnoxious sayings or noises that he got from tv. Also, his behaviour was definately affected by the level of violence (even cartoons) that he watched in shows. If there is a way for you to block channels and really restrict what your kids watch...that can be an option also. We got the Dish network a couple of years ago in the living room and in our room. The living room TV has all HBO, MTV, PPV and a couple of other stations blocked. If difficult child wants to watch something, he has to go through us to get it. We had to be careful in our room though because he could sit in certain places in the other room where we couldn't see him but he could see the tv. I guess I look at it like anything else. If your difficult child has a friend that makes him/her worse, you limit time spent with that friend. Same thing here. If there are things on tv that do not set him off....fine. Otherwise....that's what parental controls are for. [/QUOTE]
