Jatin Shah, When that show is about to come, say 5-10 mins earlier, involve her in something exciting such as take her outdoors, or start doign some finger painting with her, or ask her let's plant a sapling in a pot. Children get excited by these activities where they can get their hands dirty and messy. And keep the excitement up till the show time passes. Do it everyday, and once she stops following the show, she will lose interest.

Hi Jatin, is there someone in the house who is equally addicted to the show or TV? Children as young as 4, generally develop a taste for shows, when they watch adults watching it with interest. So, maybe you can request that person to not watch the show in the presence of your child. And if your daughter asks for it,tell her that the show no longer comes on TV. She will fret and cry for a few days, but if you involve her in something interesting, she will lose interest in it soon.

Jatin Shah, you can block the channel out. get her involved in some other things instead. Ask her to set the table for a meal, or help in the kitchen. children love doing these things and acting grown up, but we dont let them because it creates mess. give her some tasks to do where she feels all important and enjoys doing them.

Hey Jatin, i participated in the Live chat on "Learning how to reduce gadget use by children" by parentune. I found it great, i think- you would find some answers there.
