Well if you're a bad mom, I am too because Franny watches a whole lot of tv. Maybe not everyday, but she makes up for the daycare days on the days she's home with me and I am tired and not sure what else to do. Try Tivo. There is a lot of age appropriate stuff. Franny likes Sesame Street, Teletubbies, Blues Clues is her current fave. We also try to keep a Zaboomafoo or Caillou on hand. I've never seen Jack's Big Music Show, but I've heard other moms rec it too.
As for listening, you can always try giving Casper the opportunity to "practice listening" by giving her easy activities to obey, like "Here Casper, let's do some drawing now." In general, I try to discipline Frances by aiming her towards the next *fun* activity, like "We are going to the park now, so can you put on your shoes?"
