Does watching TV cause toddlers to become aggressive?

TV toddlers 'become aggressive' - Telegraph

Extract:

"The findings, among 1,000 children and published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine journal, come after a psychologist in the UK claimed British children were also spending hours slumped in front of the small screen and it was "the greatest unacknowledged health threat of our time".

Frederick Zimmerman, author of the American study and an associate professor of health services at the University of Washington, said: "Excessive viewing before age three has been shown to be associated with problems of attention control, aggressive behaviour and poor cognitive development."

Dr Aric Sigman, an associate fellow of the British Psychological Society, said children under three should not be allowed to watch any TV."

Watching TV seems a very unnatural activity for small children and I am not surprised at these findings.

A high salt intake is also very unnatural for small children and this too is damaging to their health and indeed is the cause of child obesity. - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/children.html
