The Answer Sheet - New study: 'Alarming' TV watching by preschoolers in daycare


The Answer Sheet - New study: 'Alarming' TV watching by preschoolers in daycare:

"The first study in more than 20 years to examine screen time in childcare settings has found that many really young kids are watching twice as much television as was previously estimated.

And really young kids aren’t supposed to be watching ANY television, pediatricians say.

The study, “Preschool-Aged Children’s Television Viewing in Child Care Settings,” is in the December issue of Pediatrics, http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/ the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics and available on line today."
