How young is too young to watch television?

The growth of media has had an ever-expanding role in the lives of children, especially in terms of a child’s physical and mental health.

Paying particular attention to TV, movies, music, and video games, Rich offers perspective on common concerns over media and suggests ways to avoid the media’s negative effects.

    @israelgaribaldi Sorry but that would be a very poor choice, not watching T.V forever is pretty much impossible unless your Amish, or your a Hermit. Besides kids at an elementary school would talk about the latest episode of *insert T.V show :P *, and he wouldn’t know what to talk about, but it should be put in limitations.

    if ppl get into visualization/meditation, they’ll see what i did(or didn’t)that my visualizations looked like swiss cheese, & i couldn’t hold images in my mind very long. it’s t.v.- it visualizes for you and thus weakens your own ability. not just through content , but the device itself is bad. reading of course is the answer!
