non-fiction from mid to late 1990s, Placido Flamingo
Alright Reddit, this is a long shot. This is Not a textbook or book from high academia. It's for parents and the general public. The book is white, with some blue, some yellow. Topic: limiting television time for kids ages 0-5. Publication date early/mid/late 1990s. In English. I think it was paperback only. Bought it for $3 in the USA in a bargain bin of a now defunct outlet mall bookstore... I read it around the year 1999, it's about brain development and early childhood learning, specifically about limiting TV time for kids. It specifically mentions a Sesame Street puppet sketch with Placido "Flamingo." I was about 20 y/o, No kids yet. I loaned it to a psychologist friend & never got it back. Now, I need the book for research and to evaluate the cited studies listed in that book. Problem is now that phones are ubiquitous, and everyone is freaked out about screen time & phone use for kids, I'm having a difficult time finding either that book or the studies, the 30-year-old studies sided in that book.
