An interesting article from the Seattle Times today reported the average amount of television that infants and toddlers watch.
"Families are so hooked on television and videos that 40 percent of 3-month-olds and 90 percent of 2-year-olds are regular watchers, according to a new, wide-ranging survey by Seattle researchers."
Your not going to believe this but, "previous research has reported that children who watch excessive amounts of TV have a higher risk of attention problems, obesity, aggressive behavior and low scores on reading and math tests."
