Impact of Televesion...

After reading this article I was shocked to find out the statistics about the amount of television toddlers watch. Sure television is good, but how good is it for a child two years of age to be watching television. Children at this age shouldn't be watching T.V. because the time spent viewing is time lost from more interactive and brain-enriching activities. Using the T.V. can be good in some ways to help the children learn if what they are watching is age appropriate, but we shouldn't depend on it to teach our children. The problem is that many households now days always have a television on in the house or the children have them in their rooms. Television is a nice luxury to have, but I feel as if parents in the households should have more control over the television and promote more beneficial activities to help the kids develop.
