My son was very proud of himself the day he showed me how the remote worked. Before that, the kids could only see tv if they asked my wife or me.
And they only got kodi.
On my side, I was also very proud, because he was almost seven when it happened !
We managed to « force » them using their toys or play outside instead of spending worthless time in front of a screen. I like to think (hope ?) it’s the right thing to do.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoMan, I wish someone would tell my 1 year old that TV remote is off limits. He knows exactly what it does. Grabs it and starts pressing buttons to turn on TV. Of course he can’t navigate to Netflix unless he hits that button but he tries them all.
- JeanMarcS 8y agoTo be honest and for context : 1) I’m French so maybe we don’t have TV on all the times (not saying that it’s true in the US, but it’s the impression I have from here. I might also be totally wrong. And in France a lot of people have TV on most of the time. But my wife and I don’t) 2) our kids (they’re twins) saw their first cartoon around 2,5 yo. They didn’t seen a TV on before that. And of course it fascinated them as any screen can do. It was Cars and I show them in 4 parts on 4 consecutive days. 3) Our TV is plugged on a RPI with kodi and you couldn’t use it with the TV remote (only with our smartphones) until they were 5 (and I bought a TV compatible with Anynet), so even if they managed to start the tv, they couldn’t go further. Maybe they did, maybe not, but they never told us if they did :)
