However, the biological theory prevailed as David was unhappy being a girl and considered his gender identity to be male. Something prenatal within David made him feel like he was a boy (this is not always the case, but it is sometimes)

2. children who watch more TV tend to be lower achievers
3. language skills can’t be mastered in the early years without individual adult-child communication. TV cannot substitute direct interaction.
4. it tends to cut children off from social communication/interaction
5. with increased viewing, there has been a drop in reading scores
