(NaturalNews) Toddlers who watch television are significantly more likely to have poor health and poor educational performance by age 10, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Montreal and published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
（NaturalNews）看電視的幼兒在10歲時是顯著地更有可能健康不佳和學習成績不佳，據由蒙特利爾大學研究人員進行的一項研究和出版在兒科和青少年醫學檔案。
"Although we expected the impact of early TV viewing to disappear after seven-and-a-half years of childhood, the fact that negative outcomes remained is quite daunting," said lead researcher Linda Pagani. "Our findings make a compelling public health argument against excessive TV viewing in early childhood."
“雖然我們預期早期觀看電視的影響消失， 在七年半的童年後；但事實是，負面結果仍然是相當令人怯步的;，”首席研究員琳達帕加尼說。 “我們的研究結果作出令人信服的公眾健康論據，針對早期童年時過度看電視。”
"This is yet another study reinforcing the need for our society to finally accept that quite aside from good or bad parenting, children's daily screen time is a major independent health issue," said Aric Sigman of the British Psychological Association, who was not involved in the study.
“這又是另一項研究加強我們社會的需要，最終接受那頗一邊的好還是壞的養育，兒童每日的瑩幕時間是一個主要的獨立健康議題，”英國心理學協會的阿里克西格曼說，他沒有參與這項研究。
As part of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development Main Exposure, researchers questioned parents about their children's television exposure at both 29 and 53 months of age. They found that the average two-year-old watched just under nine hours of TV per week, while the average four-year-old watched just under 15. Fully 11 percent of two-year-olds and 23 percent of four-year olds watched more than two hours per day.

At the age of 10, children who had watched more TV as youngsters were significantly more likely to be rated by their teachers as having lower levels of classroom engagement and poorer performance in math. They were also less likely to be active and more likely to drink more soft drinks and have a higher body mass index.
在10歲時，已看更多電視的兒童，作為青少年是顯著地更可能被他們的老師，評分為具有較低水平的課堂參與和數學的表現較差，他們亦較少可能作出主動，和更有可能喝更多汽水，及具有較高的身體質量指數。
"Early childhood is a critical period for brain development and formation of behavior," Pagani said. "High levels of TV consumption during this period can lead to future unhealthy habits."

"Common sense would suggest that television exposure replaces time that could be spent engaging in other developmentally enriching activities and tasks that foster cognitive, behavioral and motor development."
