5.0 out of 5 stars Moms and Dads, wake up to what your kids are watching!!, November 30, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Viewing Violence (Hardcover)
Very disturbing book about what's happening with TV, and the effects of TV violence on our kids. Does a steady diet of violence have negative effects on kids? You won't wonder after reading this book. The author says -- and you won't doubt her after reading this -- that there are hundreds of studies already done that document the negative impact of TV violence on our kids. Yet nobody talks about them. The TV industry likes to claim credit for reducing drinking and driving through its public service ads. Great. But they at the same time REFUSE to take RESPONSIBILITY for also contributing to violence in this country through shows that glorify the stuff. The book is also fascinating for the author's description of the different stages kids go through -- how kids who are 6 perceive the same show differently than kids who are 10, and so on. The author's a psychologist by trade. Fascinating book -- with critically important findings for all of us.
