Tv And Toddlers

For many parents it may be tempting to put their infants or toddlers in front of

the television and engage them; meanwhile rush to finish their pending errands. This may be regular and usual for many parents, but pediatric seriously oppose this idea. They say It is not a good practice and parents, guardians or baby-sitters shouldnt do it. As they assert that early years are very crucial for child development.

The biggest concern is impact of television programs on toddlers who face difficulty in acquainting themselves to the high speed visuals shown. Child specialists and researchers are still open for exploring positive effects of television on infants but for now they strongly oppose targeted programming for toddlers. They believe for toddlers under the age of three talking, singing, reading, listening to music or playing is far more important to a child's development than any TV show.

Researchers say ..

As per the researchers very young children who watch television face an increased risk of attention deficit problems. With every hour of preschoolers watching television; boosts their chances by 10 percent of developing ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). The fact is there are lot of reasons for not letting children especially toddlers to watch television, two of them majorly are obesity and aggressiveness.

How much TV should I let my baby watch?

Clearly, what Pediatrics advice is No child under the age of two should watch television at all as between the age of two and four, even incremental exposure can delay development. Moreover, early childhood is a critical period for brain development and high levels of TV consumption during this period can lead to future unhealthy habits.

Dont put your child at risk!

In newborns and toddlers the brain develops quite rapidly for first two to three years of life. Pediatricians suggest parents should limit the amount of time their infants and toddlers spend in front of any sort of screen or TV or any other random visual display. Also, leaving a child alone with the TV is not a good idea at all.

The fact is infants and toddlers dont need television to distract them as children can learn to entertain themselves by playing, they explore and learn about space and sound, whereas watching television doesnt provide such sense of sensory experience.
