So in tonights discussion following seminar we talked about media and the effects of children. I had to find out a little more, but realized that I am not to invested on the subject. But others seemed to be, so what I found was a report by the Kiaser Family Foundation on the subject. They completed a survey on about 1,000 parents. Check it out if you want more info. Right now my mind has thought to much, and I need to zone out infront of the picture box for awhile.
Children and Electronic Media
Recent years have seen an explosion in electronic media marketed directly at the very youngest children in our society, yet very little is known about how these changes have played out in young people's lives. In order to help understand the implications, the Foundation conducted a national study of more than 1,000 parents of children ages six months through six years. The findings are published in the report Zero to Six: Electronic Media in the Lives of Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers.
