Default How much TV is too much TV for young kids?

Okay I have a 3yr old who watches quite a bit of tv, now I don't see anything wrong with it. We do other things, read, board games, hide and seek etc so whats the harm in a few hours of telly? Think I read in the paper not long ago that 30mins is too much? What do you think?

i try to limit tv here its actually more a background noise a lot of the time my daughter much rather be doing crafty things outside playing etc than sat watching tv although she likes to watch films but the stuff she does watch is all stuff that has helped in her development like with help with words and so on
i dont like parents who plonk their kids in front of the tv and just leave them there all day long

I think young kids should be spending as much time outside playing as they can, fair enough watching the educational stuff for kids, and maybe when having breakfast? But apart from that, I don't think they should be watching much TV until they're getting older. However, I'm not a parent, so what would I know?

"30mins is too much" Omg if my mum stoped me from watching TV for at lest 3 hours i would die lol, but my TV is on all the time i just don't really watch it for that long,but for really young kids i think about 1 hours is fine.

Hm... I would say anything over 2 hours a day is too much. For anyone, adults and children.
