Tot brain drain
Posted: June 20th, 2009 | Author: Joan Jaeckel | Filed under: Uncategorized | 1 Comment »“TV Causes Learning Lag in Infants”, tells us that letting children under two watch TV, regardless of the content, affects their brain development. It’s not what the TV does to them, according to this research, its what we’re not doing with them – talking – while they and we are watching. I wonder, if a child arrives in school with virtually no language as a foundation, how can he or she learn to read?
Thanks for the blog post, Joan!
