Should I let my children watch TV?
If your baby is only 2 years old, you should not let him watch TV at this age, because watching TV at this age will only harm your baby. For older babies, spending 1 to 2 hours a day watching TV is something you can reconsider
Watching the screen for too long is the cause of the rapid loss of vision in the baby. In addition, sitting for hours in front of the TV screen will affect your intelligence because when you watch TV, your baby only accepts everything passively. Babies will become indifferent to people and objects around them and only interested in those small screens. Moreover, sitting and not being active like that will make your baby face the risk of obesity.
