I'm not one who believes TV should be eliminated. I think it's healthier for a child to watch TV with engaged parents than to ban it outright. The only troubling aspect is that with really young children their brains are developing and we don't know the extent by which TV alters the development of synaptic structure. We know that it's better for a kid's brain development to use their hands and engage a 3-D environment, but a little TV won't kill them. I should know because I watched a lot as a kid.
