Is it true that watching TV with your child may enhance their cognitive skills?

A study reports that watching TV with your child can be beneficial for their cognitive development.

This study was done by the University of Portsmouth on the South coast of the United Kingdom.

A comparison among the consequences found from the previous studies was made.

[{"selector":"#anim-0c05a9df-48d9-4809-a85c-78783d541f7c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88aabf92-3987-4d0e-9a3d-62ee92ca845f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-112.80487%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It was undoubtedly clarified that spending too much time with screens may have a tremendous effect on children.

[{"selector":"#anim-f8c71f6c-d8ca-4668-8e14-01c9282f8e55","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d8f7ad01-7a40-4063-9238-326eb693df07","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 134.31204%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-76205bf1-baa8-4d54-83f5-012f49e14bfd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(43.74511707363684%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

Watching TV alone may be harmful for young children.

[{"selector":"#anim-d69659f5-c473-45c8-88fb-13d8daffc688","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-52c25962-bf26-48dd-850c-93fda7f253f0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

On the other hand, young children may benefit from watching TV with their parents.

[{"selector":"#anim-8875655a-94ab-497a-aa09-6e371892ec4b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-07183fc6-60f8-40d7-9349-fbfc7fae445c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.61238%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b6b01f38-5402-4431-920d-1af2456c1960 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-2.4396819662655815%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The cognitive development of children can be enhanced by watching TV with parents.

[{"selector":"#anim-4bb42f00-d2fc-444c-a283-7534634d9ef5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.808231913936465%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7cdbbef2-dc5d-463a-be3c-66d74cb2913e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc88ed95-b65b-4da8-847a-35b7227b0c5c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(106.59342%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is because parents can answer the curious questions of their children.

[{"selector":"#anim-23ba1779-e904-473a-a404-02cb5166fb44 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(18.000000065533982%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b8e52485-adfc-457a-8eca-fa3915ce9e11","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-155dd615-d949-4db5-910d-35b4bf76bbbe","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -426.42449%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, allowing children to spend too much time with TV screens and video games is hazardous for them.

[{"selector":"#anim-8e936f12-b154-4003-b103-84c2bda2d93e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4b86f86-9aef-43b8-8c3b-c61261ed18df","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 351.92866%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-806372d9-f4a8-4d96-bbf7-5e8dbbf0bb61 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(49.791145719274624%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

It may lead them towards faulty behaviour, study claims.
