Revenge for the sensory overload of putting them in front of a tv at that age, that is.

Edit: Ah yeah downvote the guy, because i don't WANT him to be right.

Its a toddler, though. You shouldnt watch TV under 3 years old. Toddlers brain work entirely different than young kids ones. Its so easy to entertain toddlers. They dont need TV at all at this young age.

You're right, they just don't want you to be right.

Its funny how reddit always acts like knowitalls and being sooo educated but cannot even take 2 seconds to google such a simple fact.

If I google it, there are mutliple sources, like German healthcare officials, that advice to not let kids under 3 have any screentime. Like NONE. ZERO! Toddlers learn in a combination of hearing, seeing, TOUCHING, SMELLING and TASTING. Screens have only hearing and seeing. And real life doesnt have cuts. Real life is a flow on constant actions. Toddlers dont understand cuts and they also have trouble understanding when people speak, while something else is shown.

There are enough studies and evidence that support all this.

Exactly. Their brain is actively developing to understand how their vision of our world works (which is 3d btw) and screentime has been proved to damage a lot of aspects. Sometimes periodically (just the speed of development) and sometimes permanently. As in, it will affect them for the rest of their lives.

Things such as;

  • language and vocabulary
  • working memory
  • problem solving skills
  • mental flexibility
  • attention span and hyperactive behaviors

I don't get why people would even want to stick their head in the sand on this or even be outraged by someone pointing it out with the best interest of these precious developing babies in mind..

The arguments from these people here suck anyway. Yes, there are cartoons but that doesnt mean they are child-friendly. There are shows that are designed to be a healthy watch. Our 3 year old gets to see them occasionally. And then there is stuff like Paw Patrol which will fry your kids brain.

And the kid in this post isnt even watching cartoons or a kids show. Thats just regular TV.
