Toddlers and TV: Early Exposure Has Negative and Long-Term Impact

This article was about how tv can negatively affect toddlers. The scientist were doing a study on children between the ages of two and four. The research showed that there was many bad impacts if children start watching tv too much too soon. In the study there was 1,314 children participating. One fact that they learned was that there is a ten percent increase in children being bullied.

In this article I have learned many things. One thing I learned was that children who watch too much tv when there little have a seven percent decrease in classroom engagement. Another fact that I learned was the children can have a bigger BMI. Also that tv can affect them when there older and can limit there physical activity. I think that if children watch less tv they would be better off in many ways.
