研究表明：可以免除儿童长时间看电视的不良影响
Parents who fear television is rotting their toddlers' minds may find it's not too late to head off potential problems by turning off the tube and taking it out of their children's rooms, a report suggests.
研究表明，那些怕电视会其腐蚀幼童心灵的父母们可能会发现，通过关掉电视，并从孩子的房间拿走，来阻止这种潜在的问题还为时不晚。

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health report that it's not only how many hours children spend in front of the TV, but at what age they watch that matters. They analyzed data from a national study in which parents of 2,707 children were interviewed, first when the children were 30-33 months old and again when they were 5½, about their TV viewing and their behavior. Among the findings:
在约翰霍普金斯彭博公共卫生学院的研究人员们称这不仅是孩子们花几小时坐在电视前的问题，还有他们在看电视时的年龄的问题。他们对一国家性研究的数据进行了分析，在其中2707孩子的父母名接受了采访关于他们孩子的看电视情况和和他们行为，首次是在当孩子30-33个月龄大时，另一次是在孩子们5岁半时。其中发现：

•Children who watched two or more hours of TV a day at 30-33 months old but had reduced TV watching by the time they were 5½ had no significant social or behavioral problems.
•那些每天观看两个或两个多个小时的电视的30-33个月大时儿童，但他们在5岁半时看电视的时间却减少了，也没有明显的社会问题或者行为问题。
•Those who didn't watch much TV as toddlers but were heavy (two hours or more daily) viewers by age 5½ were having problems with social skills.
那些看电视时间没有那些刚会走路的孩子多的人，但是（每日在两小时以上），被发现在5岁半时有社交上的问题。

•Those who had been sustained, heavy TV watchers from age 2½ to 5½ had deficits in social skills as well as behavior, including problems with attention and showing aggression.
那些一直从2岁半至5年半具有连续的，严重的看电视情形的孩子，具有社交问题和行为问题，包括注意力和表现激进的问题。
