Children 'recover' from TV harm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7018076.stm

- Johns Hopkins University say children under-fives who watched over two hours a day increased their risk.
- A UK expert said the level of damage could depend on the individual child.
- Having a television in the child's bedroom at five years old was linked to behavioural problems, poor social skills and also poor sleep.
- But, Dr Richard House, a lecturer in psychotherapy at Roehampton University "Human behaviour is far more complex than these measures of behaviour and social skills - there may well be some more subtle form of harm that is undetected.

I think the risk of children that watch TV depend on their individual child and the amount of hour that they watch TV in each day.
