[quote=Anonymous]Background TV is not good for babies or toddlers, either. Yes, a downer, I know-- http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/reading.healthy.families/SpecialTopics/articleattentionspan.pdf "During the time the TV was on, they were more likely to move from toy to toy, and had play episodes about half as long as the time without." I saw this with an 18-m-o I was visiting. She kept going into the kitchen (where the TV was on) about every 3-4 minutes, for a few seconds. I know not every kid is similarly affected, but there can be an effect, for sure.[/quote]
