Two articles I’d like to share. One deals with children who are obese and how this increases their risk of being bullied at school.

The other article is about scientists finding a link between children who watch TV at the age of 2 and the (physical) problems they face at the age of 10.

Regarding the 2nd article, the only thing that comes to mind for me is that I never watched TV until I was about 7 years old because we didn’t own a TV until then (and that was only because my sister’s dad and other daughter moved in with us and they needed to learn English). I had major trouble in school by the time I was 10 but, now that I think about it, it probably had more to do with what was going on at home than not watching TV at 2. Anyway, interesting read.
