What does watching TV do to a child’s brain? And what’s the best way to handle temper tantrums?

Our next guest has some answers. John Medina, PhD, is a brain researcher at the University of Washington School of Medicine and author of the new book, Brain Rules for Babies. He speaks with Sound Medicine's Dr. Kathy Miller.
