No.
From the time my lil baw gets out of bed to the time we're getting loaded in the car is like 20-25 minutes so no time to watch tv after getting ready and eating.
He'll play with legos or some other toy for a few minutes if he finishes eating early.

Probably more healthy than what my parents let me watch before school, which was the Today Show.

We all, as parents, start off as "no screens for my kids...". But hollar back at me when they're in a hoodie in 90 degree weather saying "bruh" every 4 words or so.

He watches it sometimes during breakfast before school. Dinner, no, except on Fridays when we all eat on the couch with a movie on.

Friday Mornings only. We call it "Fun Friday" for my 6 & 8 year old. Wake them up at 6 rather than 6:30 to give a little extra time. They actually jump out of bed quicker and are ready for school earlier than on a normal morning.
I see no problem with it.

I always slept till the last minute so I had time to shower and eat only before leaving the house. Been that way my whole life.
No tv at dinner, that’s family time and growing up the tv was not even visible from the kitchen table.

When I was a kid we never had the tv on in the mornings.
I have 2 highschoolers now and they have never had tv on in the AM either.
They probably check their phone on the way to school, but nothing at home in the mornings

I watched Cartoon Express(Rocky and Bullwinke, Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch) and the Bozo Show every morning before school.
I turned out okay-ish

Me...growing up, we did not watch TV during breakfast. If we had time before school after getting ready, I'd watch cartoons or SportsCenter. For dinner, it seems like we did often have the TV on as it was visible from the dining table.
Me, as a parent? We very rarely watch TV during meals.

No TV in the morning before school or church. Most mornings they would be fine if we allowed it, but some mornings they act like zombies and it's a fight to get them dressed, eat breakfast, or out of the house on time. Therefore, we cut it off.
If they don't have HW, they can watch TV after they get home from school while we are getting dinner ready and cleaning lunch boxes. If we are not sitting down as a family (do this maybe 3 nights a week) for dinner, and as long as they are eating, we have no problems letting them continue to watch. They just better finish their dinner before running off to the sport du jour
