May be a silly question

[emyandpotato]

But does having Jeremy Kyle on in the same room as LO do him harm as he can hear the arguing?

 

[Laurenmomma]

I don't think so if I have it on dd is fascinated haha!

 

[chloeandbaby]

lol its funny you mentioned this, as i was watching it the other morning, like i do most mornings and my mom was here and she said to me i shouldnt watch this soon as LO will start picking up on things... but surely thats the same for many programs isnt it? not sure how much we should protect our LOs and how far is too far... x

 

[special_kala]

i dont watch stuff like that infront of River it tends to be kids shows or no tv at all as they do pick up alot when they are older

 

[stepmum]

I tend to feed Oliver his morning bottle watching Jezza and I'm not sure if he will pick anything up cos the other day I'd just put him down and it was a DNA result and as it got to the part where it's "your NOT the biological father" and the audience gasped, well Oliver stared at the telly and gasped along too lol, maybe I should put the kids telly on in future for him.

I used to watch it a bit when my daughter was younger, but she wouldn't pay attention to the TV so it didn't seem to matter, and I had the volume low so the shouting etc wasn't really noticeable for her. But now she will sit there and stare at it, and especially when they shout, so I don't have it on when she's around. I don't think I've seen it for 5 months now LOL. I try to put CBeebies on (as much as I can stand it) and if I start to go craxy watching that, I'll turn it over to something tame like "Homes Under the Hammer" or "Good Morning"

I watching it when LO is in the room. He laughs at it! We had Mr Blooms Nursery on before and he was playing with the remote and managed to put the right number on for ITV+ haha when it was on!

I watched house while I fed LO when he was younger. If I have anything on at all now though it really distracts him from whatever he's doing to watch it instead, so I haven't had the tv on during the day in about 3 months!

Now he's not sleeping so much during the day, I might introduce him to Mr Tumble while I make lunch!

 

[MizzDeeDee]

I hope not..he's on now...yep..he's over here now.....is he always so obnoxious and argumentative?

 

[charlotte-xo]

I used to watch criminal minds and special victim unit etc in front of alfie when he was your LOs age and hes not a mass murderer yet lol. Its fine just maybe stop watching it infront of him as he gets older as like special kala said they pick so much up from around 12 months +.

I did wonder why Louie's insisting on having a big burley bodyguard following him around

 

[patch2006uk]

I hope not..he's on now...yep..he's over here now.....is he always so obnoxious and argumentative?

He certainly is! Worst part is, quite a few of my old classmates have been on it

i used to when ds was a lot younger, then one day he started clapping along to the audience and made me think that he was perhaps paying ALOT more attention to it than i realised

now it really is no tv or a couple of ds's programmes. when dh is home he is always watching things that are inappropriate for our son. just because they dont swear doesnt mean it is appropriate, he likes things like stargate, yeah it doesnt scare me but the guns, some of the aliens and some episodes in particular would have given me nightmares at even double our sons age, it all came to ahead when our son did in fact start waking in the night screaming, crying and shouting daddy in such a scared voice.

dh's response previously oh he isnt even paying attention, errrr he obviously was, he doesnt argue when i tell him to turn it over now, honestly men can be sooooooooo blind sometimes! i mean one time i walked in and he was watching a film about gangs and jonny depp got shot in the back of the head and you saw the exit wound and all the blood i went balistic because once again our "unattentive" son was absolutely glued to it - he had another nightmare that night

anyway my long winded response is i genuinely do think that they can be affected, yeah ok possibly not newborns and a couple of month olds but as they get increasingly older you do not realise what they pick up, even if it isnt the words they are coming out with they will form an attitude or opinion that it is acceptable to talk to people like that you know?

i have sky plus so went through a phase of recording my programmes and watching them during ds naps - best of both worlds, i still got to see my programmes but ds wasnt watching anything potentially inappropriate

 

[EllaAndLyla]

I sometimes worry about this. I think when she is older I will stop watching things like that when shes around, like when she can understand more xx

 

[Babushka99]

Ah the joys of daytime telly. I don't watch Jeremy Kyle when lo can hear it cos of the arguing, thought I was the only one that worried about this!

 

[My_First]

I cant live without good ole Jezza! Didnt realise the joys of daytime TV until I had a baby. I actually cant believe that I was disappointed earlier in the week, when the rugby replaced it! I HAD to then watch it in the afternoon....Makes me feel better about my life!

 

[tannembaum]

If there is something overly loud, shouting, violence etc on tv I wont watch it as I don't want Elsie picking up on it.

My mum suffered with domestic violence until I was 3 and even though I didn't see the violence first hand my first memories are of shouting/crying and being scared which really affected me growing up.

 

[LisaMariee]

I don't watch violent/aggressive/gory programes whilst LO is around, I don't let OH play his xbox games which are like that while she is around either. I don't like the idea of her seeing things like that while she is so little and innocent

 

[heather91]

I stopped putting things like that on from about 5/6monthsish x
