Study: TV may cause attention deficit

Monday, April 5, 2004 Posted: 10:27 AM EDT (1427 GMT)

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Researchers have found that every hour preschoolers watch television each day boosts their chances -- by about 10 percent -- of developing attention deficit problems later in life.

The findings back up previous research showing that television can shorten attention spans and support American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations that youngsters under age 2 not watch television.

Blah, blah, blah.

Yakity, yakity.

How will our children ever learn to ignore TV if we don't let them watch it? Ignoring TV is a vital skill in modern society!
