Unfortunately, the scientific evidence suggests that using TV as a babysitter has its【62】the more time babies spend sitting in front of the screen, the more their social, cognitive and language development may【63】. Recent studies show that TV-viewing tends to decrease babies’【64】of learning new words, talking, playing and otherwise【65】with others.
    A new study published in the Archive of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine【66】to  that  evidence while introducing an【67】new perspective. Many studies have suggested that television hamper learning by【68】youngsters’ ability to interact with others, and according to Dr. Dimitri  Christakis, a University of Washington pediatrician (儿科医生), that effect may be【69】when parents get drawn into TV-watching too.
    Christakis reports that when babies get【70】up with what’s playing on television, their parents are equally likely to get distracted, which limits their【71】with their kids. It’s a three-way interaction, with TV affecting both children and their parents, and the parents’ detachment【72】impairing their children.
    Christakis argues that【73】what is playing on the screen, television by nature is a passive medium that hampers rich social interaction.【74】when parents and children interacted actively while watching TV together, the net effect of having it turned on, for a few minutes or hours, was a drop in talking. On【75】, the study found, when the TV is switched on, youngsters spend more time【76】silence and solitude than they do in active social interaction.
【77】his previous findings on the issue, his feeling is that television probably isn’t the ideal medium for【78】real interaction between parent and child. If it were, he argues, then the net effect of having the TV on,【79】in the foreground or in the background as noise, would have been richer and would have led to more【80】exchanges and conversations.
    Nothing, it seems,【81】the most basic form of bonding—a good old-fashioned one-on-one conversation, even if you’re only trading coos and gurgles(咯咯声). [br]
