who says tv is bad for kids?

My daughter is two years old, and I have never worked on the ABC’s with her. Ever. I’m not one of those moms who does a lot of academic training with the kids. At this age, I try to stick to teaching them more practical things. Like how to give me a pedicure, or how to fetch mommy’s box of Chardonnay from the fridge.
