That's what I did when I was younger and sick and what I will probably let my kids do if they are actually sick like with a fever. Just seemed more comforting to me than being confined to my bed 24/7

When they are sick yes I let them bum and watch tv/iPad. If not sick they have to have made sure rooms are clean along with any toys of theirs laying around the house. Homework done read for at least 20 minutes before any tv time and I limit it each day but mostly they just listen to music videos while playing so I don’t worry about it too much. Except my younger two but they don’t even sit long enough for the tv to be an issue

My son is 19 months, so he usually gets very little screen time. He woke up today with a ton of congestion and watery eyes. He is whiny. I let him watch tv all morning and cuddle with me. He got down a little to play, but he wasn’t himself. Now he is napping.

We've been doing exactly that for 4 days now. Lounging, snacking, watching movies, and long warm baths before bed. They get tablet time as well. We all got bad colds, and the weather has been blah. It really sucks, but that's just how it goes sometimes.

When they're sick they can basically do what they want. If they're sick enough to only want to lay on the couch and watch TV then I'll let them. My kids are super active usually so I know they are miserable if they aren't wanting to play. I know when I'm sick I just want to rest and feel better.

My three-year-old was sick yesterday, she had been throwing up in the middle of the night. She was allowed to watch movies for the first half of the day so I could try to keep her away from our 6 month old. She was really excited, because she's normally not allowed to watch TV until night time when I'm making dinner.

My son is sick right now. He slept in until 8:30, cuddled with me on the couch for a while, then told me he wanted a nap and fell asleep just before noon. I let them control what comfort and activity level they want. They won’t do more than the can handle or are comfortable with.

When my kids get sick unfortunately it hits them quite hard. I find my dd just wants to sleep all day and we do lounge in front of the tv. Getting out of the house helps heal fast, like a trip to the park or something.

When they're sick they do pretty much what they want. Sit in front of the TV all day, colour in, read books etc.

Yes when your sick I say go for it, it's a nice distraction from all the discomfort...

He wouldn't slow down long enough to do that

Yea if they are really sick I let them bum around in pjs and watch movies or watch videos on the I pad. Nap when they want. Not that they ever do but I know if I’m sick I just wanna bum around ya know?!?
