Teach your child that she — not the non-stop stream of programs — is in control of TV viewing. Help her to appreciate the countless good reasons for muting the sound or shutting off the TV entirely: to talk with someone else, to play outside, to turn a somersault, to sing a song, to draw a picture.
Some of these reasons may even come from something your child has seen a TV character do. Take your cue and move on to a new activity.
