Parenting Tips for Your 12 Month Old Child
Child development experts strongly suggest that children under 2 years old (that includes your baby) not watch television. The images on TV are too overwhelming for babies. Watching television also takes time away from doing more important things, such as moving, exploring the environment around them, and interacting with family and friends.
You may have noticed that there are lots of media products for children under 3 years old that are marketed to parents. These media products, such as educational videos, television programs, and 24-hour television channels for babies, may look appealing, but there is no evidence that these products make babies smarter. We do know, through research, that babies learn best by being able to move around and interact with people and things in their environment.
