The average American kid apparently watches four hours of TV a day. Four hours!
My parents' strategy was to keep the TV in a location that was slightly outside of our normal traffic patterns. Then they let us watch as much as we wanted. The idea was that watching TV would have to be an intentional choice, rather than just a default here-it-is-in-front-of me activity.
