I have always been told if I watch too much tv my brain will rot. These group of scientists say watching tv may be one of the leading causes to ADD. They did a test on people it showed those who watched more tv tend to have more mental health problems than those who did not watch as much. The problem with watching tv is you are not really engaging your brain like in school. That is why we like to watch tv because we do not have to think too hard about it we just process what is going on. Did you parents ever turn on baby Einstein when you were little? It is shown that under the age of two the child does not even know what is going on, it distracts them from play their development relies on voices to learn how to speak and all of that. It sounds like a good idea to turn on the tv to get them to stop crying or to calm down but does not teach them how to play on their own. Interactive tv shows like Barney, Blues Clues, and Sesame Street are the best for your child. They are being entertained but at the same time learning. Watching tv or being on a electronic device before going to sleep is not a good idea, by doing that you brain is not slowing down and may not let you sleep through the night peacefully. The good news is as long as we watch shows that actually are important our brains will not rot is it ok to sneak in the occasional entertaining but not good for you tv show.
