You’ve cleared the breakfast bowls and washed up, but you still have a pile of ironing to do and your child is desperate for attention. You pop her in front of the TV, telling yourself it’s just for 30 minutes while you do the chores.

You finish the ironing but she’s glued to the screen, so you work on a load of washing, make some phone calls and prepare tea. Before you know it, it’s lunchtime and your child has spent the whole morning in front of the TV. Well, you’ve achieved loads - but your child has just been vegetating. Sound familiar?
