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. |
