Re: Braocating TV for children
@Ariella, great example.  We did learn visually and it can be an excellent instructional educational tool.  It's behind a lot of innovation that our generations of utilized.

Re: Braocating TV for children
@Dhagar I like to say that I found TV very educational as a child. My father thought we watched too much of it and so would cut the plug. As a result, I learned how to attach pugs at a fairly young age.

Re: Braocating TV for children
@vnewman, interesting comments and analysis!

I, too, was raised on TV.  But now, as opposed to being stagnant, TV shows provide broadening exposure - which may explain the "developed skills".

One other plus for TV, it usually is consumed in the home and is one social elements for the family unit to hold onto.

@dcawrey, yes, the devices themselves can be addictive.

I think this is good news for broadcasters and TV content providers.  The ability to deliver through multiple networks can "extend" the comfortable habits of TV watching.

Re: Braocating TV for children
Well at least kids aren't totally hooked on things like phones and tablets. While a lot has been said about unhealthy televsion is, I would argue that many digital devices might be even worse.

Re: Braocating TV for children
I completely get this.  There is something a little nefarious about letting your child hover over a device that doesn't seem quite as bad as letting them sit in front of the TV.  Maybe it is a nostaglia thing - after all, you're still passively watching programs in both situations.

As a child, my mother stuck me in front of the TV frequently out of necessity (getting chores done and cooking).  I watched an obsence amount of Mr. Rogers, The Electric Company, Sesame Street, The Magic Garden, Looney Toones...I could go on and on.  I'm an only child so I also had to entertain myself - I also spent endless hours playing outside with friends.  I don't have a negative association with TV nor do I feel it damaged my developmental progress, as I have heard argued by many.  I know tons of folks who don't give their children any screen time at all, be it on a device or box in the living room. 

I was just at a birthday party with a 3 year-old who had incredible conversational skills.  I asked his parents what they thought was behind it.  I expected to hear how they've enrolled him in countless social activities.  Intead they said, "He watches a ton of TV." Go figure.
