No TV policy

At his forth year, the little bear can do a lot of things on his own already; walking, eating, peeing, even wiping(yes wiping! yay~!!). When you'd think parenting must has gotten easier, I suddenly remembered the warnings from the more experienced mamas "wait 'till you have to discipline them." Yes, exactly what I am faced with right now....so long lullabies days and hello boundaries and rules. Especially after reading the Tiger Mom article, it gets you thinking: to what extent do I want to set my boundaries and expectations. While it's not my ambition to train and drain my kids, the kids, after all, did come to this world carrying potential that might just surprise us. So, somewhere in the back of my head, I want to prevent myself from stopping them from reaching that potential. One thing I did decide to start is No TV Policy. No TV for daddy and mommy until the kids go to sleep/generally no TV for Noah except for his favorite (and actually pretty inspirational) Little Einstine for twice a week. The purpose of this policy is not to build a TV watching habit in the family....(at least until the kids are sleep....shiiii...)
