Since 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended no screen media for children <2 years of age. Nevertheless, recent nationally representative data indicate that 68% of children <2 years of age use screen media on a typical day, and one quarter of these children have a television (TV) set in his or her bedroom. Additional data suggest most US-born infants <2 years of age watch between 1 and 2 hours of TV daily. Given the large number of infants who are regularly exposed to TV, and the large number of parents who believe that it is good for their development, it is important to determine the effects of TV viewing on the developing cognition of young children...
CONCLUSION. Television viewing in infancy does not seem to be associated with language or visual motor skills at 3 years of age.
