Toddlers watching more than three hours TV 'at risk of aggression': ESRI

Toddlers who watch three hours TV a day may end up physically weak, educationally stunted and emotionally aggressive, according to a new study.

An ESRI study shows that after two hours of viewing, every extra hour of TV impacts on a child's physical and mental development.

Excessive viewing in three-year-olds is also linked to obesity, while there are also links with hyperactivity and interaction with other children.
