Media and children

I came across this video a few months ago, and it's really worth checking out.  This video featuring Dimitri Christakis gives some concrete reasons to restrict your child's TV viewing.  This video is the reason I'm strictly keeping the TV off when baby's in the room until he's at least 2 years old.  


The video is a little more than 16 minutes long and makes some good points about ADD and other theories on the effects of TV exposure in children.  I think it's important to allow your child some recreation time with the TV and technology, but not until 2 years old.
