Group Says Babies Shouldn't Watch TV

This message from Seattle Children's Research Institute, don't let your babies watch TV. 

Researchers there reviewed 78 studies on children's TV viewing habits published over the last 25-years. They found that even though the American Academy Of Pediatrics discourages TV watching before age two, 9 out of 10 children that age are watching TV regularly.  That is despite findings that children under 12 months who watch more than two hours a day were more likely to have delayed language skills.
