Monthly-ish the Center On Media and Child Health (CMCH) Website posts teachers, researchers, and personal parent perspectives on their unique approach, experience, and concerns on the role of Media in children's development.
These perspective's supplement the 'cut through the crap' content I love about the CMCH's site, with real stories from, well, parents; like us. The front line. My families perspective is posted for this November:
Our Family Perspective on Media and our Children on CMCH
( http://www.cmch.tv/mentors_parents/pp_barney.asp )
Ok, its mostly my perspective as a dad and sometimes not so great monitor of media and our two girls. But my wife did edit it and try to make me come off a bit better. I mean, do they look media saturated? What? Your kids aren't wearing white gloves? Hey! Della! You said " 'everyone' had them"!
From CMCH reading, I am paying more attention to both our kids saturated fats AND media saturation, thank you very much.
The Center is open to both Mom and Dad's perspective (s), so DADS (and Moms!) if you have a perspective for your family and the Media, contact CMCH. They are open and interested in sharing Parent's views.
