Interview with a DOCTOR Doctors and specialists on the speech development of young children believe that watching television is very harmful for babies.0:06
Dr. Barbara Healy is one of them.0:15
Welcome to our studio, Dr. Healy.0:18
And the first question to you.0:21
Is television really so bad for young children?0:23
I'm absolutely sure of it.0:26
How much, in your view, should parents let their children watch television?0:29
Well, that depends on the age of their kids.0:33
Babies under one year old should not watch television at all.0:36
Children who are a bit older, two or three year old boys and girls may watch television for no more than one hour a day.0:40
I know that many children do watch television with great interest.0:48
Bright colors, moving pictures, flashing lights attract them.0:52
And nowadays, unfortunately, television is often being used as a babysitter, which is a very simple and very convenient way to make your child keep quiet.0:57
But our experiments show that television influences children's speech development negatively.1:07
What are the results of your research?1:13
Watching television somehow prevents babies from learning to talk as early as they should.1:16
At three, such children have the language of two year olds.1:21
Is it really so serious?1:24
It is quite difficult to get these young television viewers interested in toys, parents and nannies stop talking to them.1:28
Thus, these children are not being taught a basic vocabulary.1:34
They usually get through conversations with their mothers and other adults.1:38
And the children whose language was below standard at the age of three could be really slow in their development in future.1:42
