221: The Effects of TV on Babies & Toddlers

Ever wondered why TV is not recommended for young kids? This episode references a powerful TedX talk by Dr Dimitri Christakis on Media and Children and looks at the research behind what happens to our our children’s brains when they get exposed too early to TV. Attention problems, language delays and overstimulation can all be related to early media exposure. But it's not all bad! Angela discusses how we can use this information to our advantage to make informed choices about when and what our kids watch, while sharing a bunch of other fun ideas and activities you can use to keep those kiddies occupied instead! A must listen for every parent on young kids.
