My baby is obsessed with all the programs the cable channel in Metro Manila, BabyTv, offers. What's the safest number of hours (or minutes) that I can let her watch?

In this day and age where gadgets are always handy to the point that some parents use it to keep the child quiet, I suggest that you should not let your child watch television or engage in using tablets at all. However, since your little one already has been introduced to this, what you can do to diminish his/her interest is to spend more time playing with him/her. Playing provides a lot of good benefits for little ones because it boosts their mental, social and motor skills. You can introduce yo him/her outdoor play or give her something to focus on such as papers and colors (make sure that materials are bug enough to prevent choking and that materials age-appropriate and toxic-free).
