Synopsis

More and more of children’s attitudes, values, interests, and behavior run the risk of being controlled by their experiences with the popular media culture and screens instead of being actively created by children themselves. That is, childhood is becoming increasingly remote controlled. Learn how to counteract the potentially harmful impact media can have on both the process and content of children’s development and learning, and how to help families make informed decisions about the screen media in children’s lives.

In the mid-1980s, many teachers with whom I worked became puzzled and concerned about the changes they were noticing in children’s war play in the classroom. They found it harder to limit and redirect play with violent themes, especially among boys, than they had in the past. Children continued to engage in the play when the adults turned their attention elsewhere, and some boys seemed almost obsessed with the play. Teachers also found it harder to get girls and boys to play together than they had before (Levin & Carlsson-Paige 2006; Linn 2004).
