Effects of Watching TV in Babies and Children?

June 16, 2012 – 05:40 pm

By Jan Murray

TV is my pet hate – just ask my kids. I have been a TV Nazi since day one because it is a serious issue in a child’s development. In my opinion when it comes to TV turn it off, pretend it is broken, whatever just be in control while you can.

Research suggests that TV viewing patterns of a two year old stay with them for life. TV is an all-pervasive and highly influential element in the lives of most Australian babies and children today.Children of different ages watch and understand TV in different ways, depending on the length of their attention spans, the ways in which they process information, the amount of mental effort they invest, their own life experiences and parental input.

There are a variety of studies that show TV viewing before the age of three may have adverse effects on subsequent cognitive development and neural programming for the future. 90% of brain neural pathways are laid down by three years old. After this they are added to and built on.

INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW EDITION
In 1993, I came across a review of a book about people who deny that the Nazi Holocaust actually occurred. I wrote to the author, a university professor, telling her that her book made me wonder whether she knew that an American holocaust had taken place, and that the denial of it put the denial of the Nazi one to shame. So great and deep is the denial of t...
