Wow, I can't imagine plopping my infant in front of the History Channel, expecting her to learn all about Nazis and submarine warfare and so forth. How ridiculous - and how sad, that these moms think that TV can do a better job of educating their kids than they can.
I stay away from children's TV because it's specifically designed to catch and hold Alex's attention. I don't want her paying attention to TV at this age. And no WAY do I want her watching the commercials that go with children's TV.
There was one study that found a link between tv and ADHD.
Is that the big study that appeared in the journal Pediatrics last year? If you click on the words "utterly unconvinced" in the post above, you'll see my critical review of that study. If you're talking about something else, I'd love it if you could pass on a link or citation.
