This article brings to mind my little cousin who is 5 years old, who sits on the couch in front of his TV for the majority of the time after he's come home from school, watching cartoons. I can wholeheartedly understand where this article is coming from because I see the exact same problem present with my cousin and it breaks my heart to see him grow up like this, and yet I can't do too much since his father believes that he knows how to parent his child (but that's a different story).

Now my cousin has major behavioural problems, he is actually becoming very short tempered because he's allowed to watch the idiot box for way too long.

Now despite all of that, I really don't have anything to contribute to this thread because I completely agree with the idea that parents should be moderating what their children watch on TV and just getting more involved in their lives in general.

p.s. when I say major behavioural problems, it's because I have ridiculously high expectations of children that are blood related to me, don't ask me I picked it up from my dad.
