Aus dem Klappentext
Watch It! reminds thoughtful parents of the dangers media can present to their children. Unlike other books on the subject, Watch It! adds practical suggestions for the busy parent on how to protect their children from the adverse effects of over-exposure to the media. It is the intelligent parents guide to the ill effects of the mass media. As an educator who teaches media literacy in the classroom, this book reminds me of how we are on the same page. It is our children who benefit and they need to. Martha Cosgrove, Minnesota Council of Teachers of English Teacher of the Year, 2006 Mary Larson delivers on the title s promise What Parents Need to Know. Her book is easy to read, based on solid research, and filled with practical suggestions you can use today. This is a great resource for the 21st century parent. David Walsh, Ph.D., founder of the National Institute on Media and the Family and author of No. Why Kids of All Ages Need to Hear It and Ways Parents Can Say It Your book is engaging, comprehensive and an eye-opener to parents and educators alike. We have included Media Literacy in our curriculum; research indicates it is an important part of our students lives, and schools have an important role in helping students develop critical skills about the Media. However, your book made me realize how much broader than simply TV and the internet the Media is for our students. Your book also clearly underscores how important it is for our teachers to have a close partnership with parents and our community. Frankly, I plan on giving a copy of your book as a baby gift to every new parent I know! And the What You Can Do suggestions are doable and practical and any caring parent with children of all ages can benefit from trying them.
