Does TV Increase Aggression in Toddlers?
This isn't a new topic by any means but I keep seeing articles talking about how TV is a bad influence on young children. Of course I do believe that toddler who sees violence on TV is bound to have some sort of aggression I do not think that all TV is bad. There are so many factors to consider, like what kinds of shows the parents are letting their kids watch and for how long. I think that an hour of TV of an educational program or just a fun cartoon is not going to be detrimental to their behavior. If parents monitor what their kids are watching and even watch with them to keep them engaged and not totally passive it's not going to do them harm.

You may find that they are simple things that you can easily do something about and maybe you'll even find some things you had no idea they were thinking or feeling. Check out the

Superfoods are foods that are whole, not processed and they are packed with beneficial nutrients. The foods that pack the most punch are blueberries, broccoli, spinach, walnuts, green tea, and avocado just to name a few.

Talk to your health care provider about using these foods to address any health issues you may have.
