Toddlers and Television
Several news agencies are reporting new statistics concerning the use of television in the home. Perhaps the most startling finding is that 40% of three month olds regularly watch TV as well as 90% of 2 year olds. You can find fleshed out versions of the story and why parents think this is a good idea at MSNBC and on CBS affiliate KPIX.
