I've gotten a bit more relaxed about tv time but this has motivated me to scale back! My son probably watches about a half hour a day at the moment at 3.5 but I think I'll try to reduce this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1017014 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 17:07:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1017014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Yes, thank you. I didn't look under "screen time"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1017005 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 17:03:53 +0000 mrbee 1017005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Is this the link?</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-screen-time#post-953104" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-screen-time#post-953104</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1017004 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 17:03:49 +0000 Boheme 1017004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you! I was one of the people who asked about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1016999 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 17:01:32 +0000 Torchwood 1016999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: It's alright.

It's an interesting subject! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1016987 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:58:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1016987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I'm not really worried about you ;) In fact, the only reason I posted this is that someone a couple weeks ago asked, "How much TV watching matters? 2 hrs, an hour, 20 minutes?" At that time I explained the dose response and then this study was reported on today, so I thought I'd share it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1016984 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:57:03 +0000 Torchwood 1016984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And just to clarify, I'm not big on tv watching in general (I never turn it on, DH does), so don't worry I'll be plopping my kids in front of the tv every day! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1016979 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:54:58 +0000 Torchwood 1016979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Ah, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1016978 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:54:34 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1016978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: It wasn't this study :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1016975 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:54:01 +0000 Torchwood 1016975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Where did you see that they controlled for that? I must have missed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1016968 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:52:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1016968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: When they've controlled for all the issues that you are bringing up, there is still the same dose response curve, even if the effect may be modified by other beneficial factors in the home... So if you take 2 upper middle class kids with involved parents and one watches 2 hours of TV every day and the other watches none, you'll still see an effect of the TV watching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1016964 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:47:33 +0000 Torchwood 1016964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The question for me is what kind of home they're being raised in. Typically, when you see a toddler watching a ton of tv, they're in a situation where they're not getting as much attention and one on one working on learning and such. If I wind up a SAHM who actively works on skills, does creative activities every day, etc, but allow my kid to watch some tv, will they have the same deficiencies? I don't know, but I think it unlikely. It seems like the *excessive* tv watching is more of an indicator of other problems that cause the delays, rather than the sole cause. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-study-about-dose-response-for-tv#post-1016860 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:57:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1016860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully this isn't behind a firewall, but I remember we were having this discussion a few weeks ago regarding dose response for TV watching and here's some new data:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/get-schooled/2013/aug/08/study-more-tv-watching-toddlers-more-problems-kind/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/get-schooled/2013/aug/08/study-more-tv-watching-toddlers-more-problems-kind/</a> </p>
