TV is the best babysitter.
Meaning of the quote
TV can be a helpful way to keep children entertained and quiet for a little while, just like a babysitter. However, it's important to remember that TV should not be used as a full-time replacement for real human interaction and care. Children need a balance of TV time and other activities that help them learn and grow.
