After Cliff and I had our first child, we happened upon an article in our local newspaper which discussed the effects of watching television on young minds. The article talked about how children who watch TV while young, in their later years develop ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Since TV is very fast paced, when a young child watches it, it becomes their normal. So in turn they expect life to be fast paced. Life is not fast paced.
We made a point to not allow our children to watch television while a younger sibling was awake. This way it limited television to a very small amount of time.
