Study: Kids Under 3 Should Be Banned From Watching TV
An anonymous reader sends this quote from The Guardian:
"Doctors and government health officials should set limits, as they do for alcohol, on the amount of time children spend watching screens – and under-threes should be kept away from the television altogether, according to a paper in an influential medical journal published on Tuesday. A review of the evidence in the Archives Of Disease in Childhood says children's obsession with TV, computers and screen games is causing developmental damage as well as long-term physical harm. Doctors at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, which co-owns the journal with the British Medical Journal group, say they are concerned."
We need to fire Big Bird.
We don't have enough laws pertaining to how we parent children. PASS MORE NOW PLEASE!
I want a government official to come to my home and verify how much TV my little girl watches every day. It's important that this happens because I'm a moron and can't control myself. I also assume you are even dumber and perhaps the best thing to do would be to just take all the children away and have the government deal with them. They could return them once they're all grown up.
try a light beer, I find my three year old actually prefers it.
Children under 13 should be banned from pubic schools.

I remember as a child, all the old people in the room watching football games during thanksgiving.
