TV Affects Preschooler's Sleep
A recent study, reported by CNN and entitled "TV Affects Sleep of Preschoolers", reveals that not only does the type of TV impact a preschooler's sleep, but the time of day the child watches TV impacts quality and quantity of sleep. The article also discusses other ways TV impacts sleep on this age group. How can parents balance a child's desire to watch TV with what is healthy for the child?
