My 2 were not allowed a TV in the bedroom until they were at senior school. |

When mine were older I found I could - to an extent determine how they would turn out by the programmes I let them watch!! |

Muffy, if you allow them to have a television in there rooms you must only allow certain times when they can have it on..........we all need time alone wether your young or old, not just to watch t.v but space to do what you want, most nights l go up at 9 pm as l like to read and l think if you give your girls a bit of trust they will |

My daughter ( 15 ) has had a TV in her room for several years but no ariel attached , she watches dvds . If she wants to watch something and it isn't on downstairs she watches in our bedroom . |

An advantage to having a TV in their room is that if you have to punish them you can always take it away for a week or a few days.........almost slipped out an evil cackle then ............lol |

They for sure wouldn't have Sky in their rooms and the analogue reception here is pants so it's most likely DVDs or nowt lol.. |

Never allowed TV's in their rooms as children. We watched TV together. They did have their own cassette players then cd players in their rooms. Of course it's personal opinion and I wouldn't criticise anyone who allows its. My daughter's eldest - 5 today - has a portable DVD player which he loves. |

Hi. My three kids had tv in their rooms and it never did them any harm. When they were young i use to limit them to how much they could watch plus it use to be a reward for them when they had been really good or done something without moaning |

Just to add, Like Amanda, My children don't have aerials attatched. So it's approved DVD's only :^) |

None of mine got any entertainment in their rooms other than a clock radio (to wake them up!) until they bought their own. They all preferred to buy stereos first. |
