Educational television fine for toddlers

If you're of the mind that television can mold a toddler's mind in the wrong direction, a new study says that some shows don't cause future attention problems in kids who spend hours in front of the boob tube.

Shows like "Barney" and "Arthur" as okay for kids under age three (who generally should not be watching television), but shows like "Rugrats" and "Power Rangers" should be off limits, according to the research.

The problem? Shows should be educational to be available to toddlers, not full of zany cartoon characters that a child witnesses over and over during a crucial time in brain development.
