Video games and TV are the culprit for lack of learning in 2 year olds

We all love video games and watching television on our big HDTVs, but there is always a time for learning and a time for playing. At a young age, television programming and video games are detrimental to a toddler’s growing brain and can cause bad communication skills.

There is a study going on that has found that many toddlers are lacking good communication skills and could possibly spark screenings for speech problems. Some are skeptical to the severity of this problem but some researchers are saying that this problem is more common than dyslexia and autism. In addition, a tenth of all 2 year olds know nursery rhymes and, worse, know their own name. Knowing nursery rhymes and your own name is a true reflection on how good your parents are in giving you attention, which leads me to my next point.
