"Lazy parenting is resulting in children starting school
developmentaly disadvantaged because
they watch too much TV instead of playing or being read to.
A neuro-psychologist in the UK, Sally Goddard Blythe,
researched the link between children
who missed out on simple childhood activites
and those who started school with learning problems.
She found many toddlers
were watching 4.5 hours of TV a day instead of playing,
and went on to school
with poor emotional development and motor skills."
