Abstract
Studies on children's use of various media suggest that videocassette viewing is an important source of entertainment for children. A recent report by the Kaiser Family Foundation indicates that 96% of young children (ages 2-7 years) live in homes with at least 1 videocassette recorder, and 16% have a videocassette recorder in their own bedroom.1 The young children in the study reported spending nearly 2 hours per day watching television and an additional half hour per day watching commercially prerecorded videotapes.1 In a similar study by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, parents of young children (ages 2-5 years) reported that their children watched an average of 2.2 hours per day of television and 1.5 hours per day of videotapes.2Keywords
