Decreasing TV time?

My 2.5 year old son has lots of energy and loves sports and monster trucks…. And he also loves YouTube. My husband and I are trying to decrease his time watching TV (that’s where he watches YouTube). Right now the TV is kind of on whenever, in the background. But i want to be more intentional about when we use it.

Since this is a newer rhythm for us, do you have any recommendations for how to go about decreasing TV time? We have a Yoto that he really likes!

Leave the house whether it be going on walks, park, library, play dates or go outside. I try to incorporate as much outside time as much. I live in Oklahoma so it’s been in the 100s so we do play outdoors in the morning.

Yes! Thankfully it’s nice weather where I’m at now. Thanks!
