We recently decided to withold TV from Lucas. Not that he was watching a lot, but we were starting to see it exhibit certain things in his behavior that we didn't like. Basically, we're going back to our original position of no TV (except on really special occasions when he may be able to watch a movie).
About 6-months ago we began allowing a little and, recently, have observed that he's stopped doing little things for himself - like putting on his shoes, playing by himself like he used to, etc. - and he's become more whiney at times.
It's probably been less than a week since we stopped letting him watch TV or movies and he's turned around. He's more flexible and is willing to play by himself. More importantly, we noticed that the day he stopped watching TV he also stopped getting out of his bed after we put him down...interesting. But hey, it's great. Less stress at bedtime!
