Percentage of US Kids with TVs in their Bedrooms

Something to think about:

In the United States -

  • 19% of children aged 1 and under have a TV in their bedroom.
  • 29% of children aged 2-3 have a TV in their bedroom.
  • 43% of children aged 4-6 years have a TV in their bedroom.

And this:

“I watch CSI…[S]he sits down and watches with me. I don’t know how harmful it is to her. It’s something gory, but it doesn’t seem to bother her. She hasn’t had any nightmares from it.”
