[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is 8 mos and we NEVER turn the TV on when she is around. I came to know of the AAP recommendation only when she was 4 mos old, and before that, I used to keep it on quite a bit - in retrospect, I realize, when the TV was on, she was just mesmerized by it, and would not take her eyes off of it..[/quote]

AAP is also the same organization that refuses to change their circumcision stance even though evidence is to the contary, so I don't really take their advice as 100% current. Meaning they are stuck in a mindset of 10 years late. Today's kid tv isn't mindless violence and killing cartoons of the 70s.[/quote]

Ignoring the circ comment since I think you are just trying to start an argument the AAP's study recommended against any tv not just killing cartoons. It actually even noted that when parents watched the news the kids were distracted by it. I am pretty sure it has more to do with attention spans and not violence . . . otherwise wouldn't their recommendation be against violence?[/quote]
