What would happen to toddler, between two and five, who is addicted to television? Studies believe that those toddlers will continue this habit into his teen- or adult- hood, and spend much more hours on televisions than playing outside, spending in classroom, or having his social life with others.
Addicted to television has been linked to all of the following, as our toddler is growing older and bigger:
The couch potato syndrome. Kids not only looks like they’re being passive, but they are truly passive, that even have difficulty to move their body away from television. They will have very slow metabolic rate compared to kids who are more active.
Inadequate and lack of physical and intellectual skill. Addicted to television will minimize kid’s interest on books, stories, playing outdoor - indoor, drawing, painting, and other social activities, that actually can encourage their intellectual and physical development.
