Do you allow your toddler to watch TV or videos?

According to the American Academy of Pediatricians (www.aap.org), it not recommended for toddlers 2 years or younger to watch ANY television or video, as they are unclear if it harms any of their development.

However, I've noticed a surge of "baby einstein" and related "educational" videos for parents to purchase for their tots to help their development (or, so says the advertising).

What do you think? How much TV and/or videos is okay for toddlers, whether it is "educational" or not?

I had never heard of this disease before, and wanted to share what I learned this past week...because it is a disease that (typically) is not serious, but during the week-long infection...it is extremely frightening to watch your little one go through these awful symptoms!

Roseola is a viral infection that is so common, it affects MOST children before school age, especially in toddlers under age of 2 years.

Plus, once you realize what your child has Roseola (due to the "tell-tale sign" of a pink patchy-rash after a high fever), the illness is almost over.

With all the voices fighting to get inside your head, is there any wonder your child rearing journey seems paralyzing at times? Pediatricians, classroom teachers, the media and well meaning friends and family can sometimes miss your intentions, as well as your child’s true potential. So when you are ready to develop your own strategic family plan, contracting the services of a life coach with the niche you need, can be one of the most rewarding investments you’ll ever make.
