Too much TV stunts children's minds

Too much TV can have a profoundly negative effect on your children's developing minds, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Their findings show that higher levels of television viewing correlate with lower levels of academic performance; that the nature of TV stimulus may predispose some children to attention problems; and that mindless television shows may slow the development of the areas of the brain responsible for self control, moral judgment and attention.

This means that too much TV can cause physical changes in your kid's brain!  And this should worry any caring father. So if your children are watching too much television, turn it off.  Hand them a book, and by doing so, you will turn on their minds.
