TV and Tykes Don't Mix
Television is the most abusive babysitter your child could ever have.
(Page 2 of 2)
It's the ultimate cop-out for parents to give kids their own tube just so they can be lounge lizards.
For those parents truly overwhelmed with work, there is a nice compromise. It's called educational videotapes and DVDs. Since these can be readily obtained from the public library and in any case studies show kids love repetition, this is far more reasonable than might otherwise seem.
But please, never forget that there never will be any substitute for your children that's better than you.
