It's the TVs that should be removed from most spaces, not the kids, like loud video ads in some supermarkets.

Otherwise, I don't really see your point, preschoolers rarely have access to TVs where I live.

I personally agree, but then to make it more generalized, less sensory input everywhere is probably good for a lot of people.

uh oh, everyone's watching the big game... I better leave, so my child doesn't hear the big scary TV

It's near impossible in a multi kid house without applying the same rules to the rest of the kids. I see people do this for the first kid and abandon it entirely for the 2nd.

something i've noticed: internet is different from TV in the amount of text on screen, even simply ads and interfaces is a lot of text.

I'd be interested to know if this makes children "text-blind" and relates to increased struggles with reading and writing as they get older. It seems a theme in 6-10 year olds from teachers at the moment.
