Dr. Dave's Cyberhood: Making Media Choices That Create a Healthy Electronic Environment for Your Kids
From movies and television to video games and the Internet, kids today have ready access to an exciting new world of entertainment and information. For their parents however, the almost limitless possibilities available are a mixed blessing. In this strategic resource for parents and educators, Dr. David Walsh, founder and president of the non-profit National Institute on Media and the Family, looks at the powerful, often insidious, influence of media from a psychological standpoint and encourages parents to pay attention to the messages kids are exposed to and make informed choices about how their children spend their time. Dr. Dave's Cyberhood is not anti-media. Rather, in clear, straightforward language, it examines such concerns as how much time a child should spend in front of a screen; how to evaluate the content of various media; how to teach children to use media intelligently and responsibly without direct parental supervision; and how to counteract peer pressure. Helpful recommendations for media products that will engage a child's imagination and stimulate his or her intellectual development, as well as suggestion for media-free activities for kids to do alone, with friends, and with their families, are also included.

Chapter One



Parenting in the Media Age


Children are the purpose of life.
We were once children and someone took
care of us. Now it is our turn to care.

— Cree Indian Elder


This quote has long been a favorite of mine, so centered and wise, so accepting of what parenthood is all about: making children the priority. All children deserve to come first, from rural towns and pulsing metros, living with two caregivers and one, economically secure and disadvantaged. As parents, our basic job is to care for our children: to see to their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Like you, the overwhelming majority of parents want to take good care of their children. It is with this belief that this book unfolds.
Just how you go about caring fo ... read full excerpt from Dr. Dave's Cyberhood: Making Media Choices That Create a Healthy Electronic Environment for Your Kids ebook
