This study says heavy exposure to TV at 2 years old has a raft of bad consequences at age 10:
- decrease in classroom engagement
- worse math scores
- increased victimization by other kids
- less physical activity
- more junk food
- fatter
The answer is for parents not to watch TV for hours at a time with their toddler in the room. I'm about as optimistic about that as I am about eliminating poverty.
