Great question! More and more research and articles caution parents to limit TV exposure to children under the age of two. Even leaving the television on in the background can have a negative impact on a child's language acquisition, neurological development, and other areas of learning and development. Feel free to read some of the articles below for more information. Of course you can do whatever makes you happy and keeps you sane, but there is a substantial amount of literature that reports potential risks to your adorable youngster(s).
