Raising
MediaWise Kids
|
American children now spend over 44 hours a
week in front of a screen - more than any other
activity except sleeping. In this presentation,
our speakers combine the latest discoveries in
brain science with up-to-date research and data
to explore the power and impact of video games,
the Internet and television in shaping norms,
attitudes and behaviors.
We will pay particular attention to the impact
of media on academic performance, health and wellness,
and discuss how media create and nourish a "culture
of disrespect." We will explore ways to take
advantage of the wonderful opportunities media
offer our kids while minimizing the danger and
risk. Our speakers will explain why it is crucial
to pay attention to the role of media in children's
lives and share concrete strategies for communicating
with and staying connected to kids in the media
age. |
