Why is TV-watching discouraged for Toddlers?
- Because some cartoons made for the whole family contain the words "idiot", "moron", "crap", "ass", and "stupid". Hardly the words you'd want to ear your child to utter.
- Explosions, car chases, guns, and violent weapons are bound in many cartoons today. Studies have shown that children who witness violence in TV shows tend to exhibit aggressive behavior more.
- Every minute spent lounging in front of the TV is a minute lost in trying to develop fine motor skills, such as drawing and writing, and gross motor skills, such as running and jumping.
- Children who watch television for longer hours tend to have more problems with obesity.
