No TV For Under Threes

From the Guardian, it seems that TV for children under three years of age might really be a bad idea.

From the article: "A review of the evidence in the Archives Of Disease in Childhood says children's obsession with TV, computers and screen games is causing developmental damage as well as long-term physical harm. The critical time for brain growth is the first three years of life, he says. That is when babies and small children need to interact with their parents, eye to eye, and not with a screen."

I wonder if people will pay attention. Oh wait...most people don't read academic studies. They're too busy using their computers and watching TV.
