The effects of television largely depend on the type of programming children watch. Children who watch educational programming actually show learning gains, while those who watch more ‘entertainment’ programming learn less. Educational television seems to contribute to vocabulary, counting, school readiness, and later grades in school. Children under two years of age do not process television messages very well and do not learn as much from television as they do from social interactions with adults. Young children who watch television may have more attention problems and also have more disrupted sleep, both of which can interfere with learning. Educational Toddlers TV and the toddler video encourage children’s learning from baby university. Parents must identify educational materials and encourage your children to watch them. Parents should recognize that television is only one factor in shaping children’s learning experiences. Parents should actively encourage learning in all phases of life, through play, stories, reading, music, and all of the everyday experiences where children interact with and learn about the world.
