Sesame Street...bad for kids?

Sesame Street Videos Spark Controversy

NEW YORK (AP) - The creators of "Sesame Street" are releasing a new line of videos Tuesday targeted for children as young as six months, outraging some child-development experts who feel no form of TV or video is suitable for kids under 2.

The DVDs - part of a series called "Sesame Beginnings" - are intended to be watched by parents along with their small children. Sesame Workshop developed the shows with help of experts from Zero to Three, a well-regarded nonprofit advocacy group.

I would love more time to research why it is that the American Academy of Pediatric
believes that television for children under the age of 2 is harmful but alas, my new job responsibilities are taking over my life (and precious blogging time). Hopefully, I'll be able to delve into this more later.
