The TV is on in most people’s homes, and if you have a child it is really hard to prevent them from being distracted by it. There has been some research recently that suggests you shouldn’t let your little ones watch telly before they’ve reached the age of 2. But surely in terms of learning language and understanding human behaviour, the TV offers a great way to teach your little ones about the exciting new world they’ve found themselves in. Are TVs actually educational toys?

Of course, TV can only be a part of the learning process. You have to give your kids as much interesting, stimulating stuff as possible. In truth though, when they are really small – like around the 6 month mark – they are more interested in playing with their hands and toes than playing with any educational toys! But some provision has to be made to stimulate their minds without giving them attention deficit disorder.
It’s important to combine fun with your kid’s education – as it is of course a period of wonderment for them.
