I'm with Anna on this one. kids who get read to watch 48 minutes; those who don't get read to watch 2 hours.




Yes, sorry for being overly literal then leaving the room. Certainly this is the what the writer meant. The problem is that it says nothing as to how the two things are related. Does this imply that parents are reading to the children for the other 72 minutes or can the parents read for 5 minutes during breakfast and somehow reduce post-dinner TV watching? Without more complete data, this is as nonsensical a statement as the oft quoted correlation between safety pin usage and car accidents.
