“For each hour of television watched per day before age 3, a child’s reading comprehension and short-term memory scores fell at age 6 and 7. But for older children, every hour of television led to slightly better performance sounding out and pronouncing words. Since 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended no television for children 2 and younger, including educational shows. For older children, the academy suggests no more than one to two hours a day of “quality” television.”
