children & televsion can we or are we bias

hi i think this book doeas draw ideas frrom a variety of perspectives a good general raed. Nothing too descriptive or detailed but can lead to further ideas a foundational interseting book.iniltially the previous edition was fairly biased heading towards highlighting the negatives with children and television. however i suggest to truly understand television in the lives of children you have to take a childs neurological development into account. i.e what age group, viewing pattrensi would imagine antropoogical studies would be helpful here. considering how diffrent cultures utilise the use of television. overall an intersting read but when it comes to children you have to consider their cognitive and neurological status.i would further recomend looking into areas of 'communication arts'.Good read for parents and professionals within childcare.
