It seems like younger and younger children are getting TV’s in their bedrooms.  I have even seen toddlers with them.  It has always been a personal decision that Alex will not have a TV in his room, but after doing a little reading yesterday I am really happy that I made that decision.

By nature toddlers are active.  They want to run, jump, play and just be active.  But it is even more than just playing.  If a child watches a lot of TV that also means they are learning less conversations skills.

There is also a link in childhood obesity and TV/video games.  Children are spending their time inside in front of a screen instead of being active.

I am not saying to never let your child watch TV, but maybe try to limit the amount of time spent in front of it, and keeping it out of the bedroom.
