Now that there are no shows directed to toddlers, will toddlers cease to watch TV, or will they watch shows directed at an older age group?

Fabulous News! May every country follow France in this great effort to protect our precious children from ADD, passivity, language deficiency, and irritability.
Whatever happened to the mothers who sang, read and repeated nursery rhymes to their children; who carried children with them instead of parking them in front of a TV; who were more concerned with the child's opportunities to bond and learn from a loving parent, instead of being babysat hour after hour by the television?
We are hurrying along to damage our most valuable possession and resource - our children.

So Baby Einstien vidoes are bad? Who woulda thunk?
Seriously the thought that TV is harmful to that age group is crap. My mother told me that she let me let me watch Seasame Street when I was in that age group. She credits that show, in part, with my being able to identify letters almost as soon as I was talking, and reading chapter books in kindergarten.
