Your child is sitting with cartoons, joyfully laughing at the characters antics and silly plots, or teaching social interaction skills so necessary for growing up strong. It may give you a sense of security that all is well with your child, and often it is so.

Students who viewed overweight characters who were then offered candy, ate more than those who watched normal-weight characters.
