TV Watching Is Bad for Babies' Brains

Some shows can help your baby because they make them think if they are paying attention. And video games help your baby's hand-eye coordination.

Im only posting because I got a cool capture code. It says "NaOH" because it wants "Sodium Hydroxide" and the other word is "Namesex" which is just dirty.

Useful information. Needs to be spread more for helping the parents to keep kids away from TV and ensure their proper development.

my granddaughter is going to be two on the 26th of this month, and she is the smartest two year old around us, my niece is 19 months and my newphew is 3 they watch dora, diago, and spongebob, tom and jerry and wow, these children are some of the smartest babies i have ever met, i don't agree with the theory of no tv on the weekdays and only some on the weekends that is rediculous, you can't teach and play with them down on the floor 24/7 you would never accomplish anything in your life, they have to learn on their own also, when they listen to these programs they learn how to make decisions on their own and maybe how to protect themselves and how to add, read, speak spanish and the list goes on, i am one who can't teach another language because i can not speak another language, so there for i DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE STUDIES, other than the part about what type of programs they watch that happens to be the truth. we all raise our kids differently and we all have different oppinions on how to do so, i do not understand how these studies can be anywhere near factual......... signed the hick chick~
