A study by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health finds that youngsters who watch more that two hours of television a day are more likely than other kids to develop aggressive behavior. The study included children between 2 1/2 and 5 1/2 years of age. These same kids are more apt to have sleep problems than children who watch less television.
The children who watched more TV also failed to develop as many social skills as the other kids.
The study involved more than 2,700 children. It substantiated what many parents have observed for years.
