Recent theoretical work suggests that bullying might arise out of early cognitive deficits — including language problems, imperfect causal understanding, and poor inhibitory control — that lead to decreased competence with peers, which over time develops into bullying.14, 15 A small number of studies provide circumstantial evidence that such a hypothesis might have merit7: 1 study found a link between poor early cognitive stimulation and (broadly defined) inappropriate school behavior, 16 and another found cognitive stimulation at
age 3 years to be protective against symptoms of attention - deficit disorder at
age 7 years.17 A study of Greek children found that academic self - efficacy and deficits in social
cognition were related to bullying behavior.18 A large US national survey found that those who perceive themselves as having average or below - average academic achievement (as opposed to very good achievement) are 50 % to 80 % more likely to be bullies.8 Yet these studies are based
on cross-sectional surveys, with the variables all measured at a single point in time.
Excessive media exposure in early childhood poses many developmental and behavioral health risks.1 Exposure to television (TV) and videos before 3 years of
