Baby Couch Potatoes - An Alarming Trend
An Alarming Trend

Baby Einstein videos and public television for preschoolers definitely have their place in maintaining the sanity of any parent. Unfortunately, an alarming number of toddlers under the age of 2 are getting more than their healthy share of television and experts are getting worried. It seems that we are raising an up-and-coming crop of little couch potatoes… all addicted to hours of television.

About 90 percent of U.S. children under age 2 and as many as 40 percent of infants under three months are regular watchers of television, DVDs and videos, researchers said on Monday. They said the number of young kids watching TV is much greater than expected. (digg)

As the father of a 6 month-old baby, I find this news alarming. Here's an idea: read to your kids instead of using the TV as a babysitter. Here's another idea: play with them. If you're raising children, put some effort into it.
