Young children are unable to differentiate what happens on television from the rest of reality. It is equally real, and all is true. Of course, television is also an intregal part of our society, and there are better programs than others.
Here is something that I've been considering for a while. I think television, particularly at a young age contribues to ADD. The constant movement from scene to scene to scene, different angles, and the lack of silence all contribute to wanting things to happen quicker, and a difficulty in peaceful settings. I imagine that if I ever have a child that I will be very selective with what television I use, and limit the amount of time that the television is on quite a bit - esp. at younger ages.
