A lot of studies in this area will suffer from the same issue. You can't exactly take two groups of toddlers and start mandating they watch 4 hours a day. So you'll have to depend on self-reports.

I don't know about other problems with this particular study, but it's not a surprising result really. Children need interaction with their caregivers to develop.
