The greater tendency of watching TV among children. Especially now every house has at least one TV. However, parents are better consuming habits to reduce the actual TV show is not good for children, especially infants.
According to research from the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, babies who watch TV experience delays in cognitive growth and language skills when entering the age of 14 months, especially if the baby is watching programs that cater for adults and adolescents.
Babies who watch TV for 60 minutes every day scored lower third of cognitive development at 14 months compared with infants who were not watching too much TV.
The results also show that babies who watch TV one hour per day resulted in their loss of 500-1000 words than babies who rarely watch TV. Infant cognitive development scores will be lower when accompanied by at least interaction, playtime, talking and other activities that can help accelerate the growth of cognitive baby.
In another study conducted by researchers at New York University School of Medicine-Bellevue Hospital Center, found that many parents who let their children watch less TV because of the lack of educating the parents free time to read books and teach their children at home.
Wow! Apparently, parents are now making the TV as the 'electronic babysitter' for children.
