![]() Five-year-old Tulah Cramer and little sister Arden Cramer, 3, never have seen a cartoon -- ever. In fact, they've never even watched TV. The kids are probably two of the few children in the Lowcountry who haven't a clue about some of the main players in today's cartoon kingdom: the famous SpongeBob SquarePants and his pals, Patrick, Mr. Free download of bollywood mp3 songs. Krabs, Squidward and Sandy the Squirrel. Their mom, Jennifer Baker, an associate professor at the College of Charleston, decided to pitch the family television five years ago after noticing her son, Wilkes Cramer, now 8, would become crabby, stressed out and whiny after watching the hit show 'SpongeBob SquarePants' and other cartoons like it. 'I've read it takes a lot of concentration to keep up with the jumping images,' she said. 'And that this concentration gets mistaken for learning, when it is not.' He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever (). Fall prayers for meetings. His Son does not change. His character is always dependable. His children will enjoy His fellowship a million years from now. His truth, ways, and purposes do not change. So Baker wasn't surprised to hear that the famous sponge and his friends stirred up controversy last week after findings of a study by the University of Virginia suggested that watching just nine minutes of the cartoon can cause short-term attention and learning problems in 4-year-olds. The study consisted of 60 children randomly assigned to watch 'SpongeBob' or the slower-paced PBS cartoon 'Caillou' or draw pictures.

Cartoon exposure Previous research has linked TV watching with long-term attention problems in children, but the new study suggests more immediate problems can occur after very little exposure, results that parents of young kids should be alert to, the study authors said. Kids' cartoon shows typically feature about 22 minutes of action, so watching a full program 'could be more detrimental,' the researchers speculated, but they said more evidence is needed to confirm that. University of Virginia psychology professor Angeline Lillard, the lead author of the study, said Nickelodeon's 'SpongeBob' shouldn't be singled out. She found similar problems in kids who watched other fast-paced cartoon programming. She said parents should realize that young children are compromised in their ability to learn and use self-control immediately after watching such shows. Study questioned Amy Sadowski of Ladson disagrees with the study's results. Her 5-year-old son, Robert Tovornik, is one of SpongeBob's biggest fans. He's watched the cartoon since he was 3 and is doing just fine, she said. She thinks the responsibility falls on the parents to monitor their children's TV exposure and says blaming television shows for a child's bad behavior is ludicrous.
