Don't Blame TV for ADHD

It has been suggested that watching TV at a young, impressionable age leads to ADHD because of the flickering lights and fast pace of the changes between scenes and commercials. It has recently been found that this is not true. This can take some pressure off of parents that use TV for a "babysitter" when their kids get hyperactive, but it is cautioned that TV should only be watched in moderation. Researchers have said that some educational TV can be good for younger children. This also shows that ADHD most likely is not brought on by something that the parents do, which is a relief for most parents.
