Catherine Jousselme, a child psychiatrist, explains why television use among very young children—those under 3 years of age—poses a scientifically proven risk to cognitive and behavioral development. She calls for heightened vigilance and public education efforts to counter the misconception that television is educationally beneficial for very young children.
