My kid, set to go to college shortly, watched TV just about every day from about the age of 18 months. Normally it was either Barney or Sesame Street. My husband and I also read to him throughout the day and at bedtime. At about the age of 2.5 he could read himself. We still read to him after that but then he could pick up books on his own and he did with daily regularity. He continued to watch TV as well and loved it; still does.
He graduated with a 4.78 weighted GPA and was accepted into every top-tier college and/or university to which he applied. The only one that waitlisted him was Brown University. He's chosen to go to one of these fine schools and we couldn't be happier or more proud.
I understand the do-gooders behind these "studies" but every parent has to know their own kid and proceed accordingly. I enjoy watching TV and so does my kid and it's always been one of the fun things that we do together and it hasn't done one iota of damage to him at all. Zero.
