Sharing Web Resources
The organizations that I chose is National Black Child Development Institute. The website is www. nbcdi. The National Black Child Development Institute mailed out there news letter.
The second organization that I chose is Zero to Three. This website talks about children health from ages zero and up.
The website link that I pick is main.zerotothree.org/site/DocServer/Media_-_recommendations.pdf?docID=10321Interest=1503. Television and the Under 3 Crowd: Making good Decisions About "Screen Time" for Young Children.
This Literature report tells some vital information on children watching television. Pediatrics recommend that children under 2 do not look at computer screens. Children learn from touching and feeling while moving around

Machelle, thanks for sharing the info about television and computer time for children under 3. I see tiny children with their parents' cell phones playing games and sometimes they can manipulate the smart phone better than I can! I agree that children that age should be using more touch and other senses instead of just looking at a screen.
Machelle,
Thanks for sharing the link to your website, the issue of children and technology is of great importance with technology advancing more and more every day. As a parent of a four year old and an eleven year old I realize just how hard it can be to balance technology and other avenues of learning and entertainment. My children are allowed one hour of technology a day (that can be a computer,tablet, video game or television) and Sunday has been dubbed 'No Technology Sunday' in my house.They do not like it and it frustrates my daughter when she has to spend most of her hour doing homework or research for a project and doesn't get much entertainment but she has to learn balance now or it may overwhelm her later. Again, thanks for sharing and I look forward to reading more about this topic from you.
