I want to share with you is an
incredible book that I think every parent should read. We are in a scary and
exciting age of multimedia and we must embrace it (sorry, you can get the girl
out of orthodontics but you can’t get orthodontics out of the girl!). BUT I’m
so concerned about our children.. Here are some hard facts discussed in the
book:
i.
The average person spends 5+ hours a day in front
of a screen
ii.
Teens and college students are never “in one
place” at a time
iii.
Constant media use breaks down silence and powers
of concentration; creates narcissistic bubbles (ie. only voices of those of my
peer group); fosters distraction and superficiality…. YIKES
This book is easy reading and will give you
suggestions on how to guide our children to use media in the best and
healthiest way possible. It is written from a Catholic perspective but it is
not about religion. Don’t let this stop you from reading it…I know you will not
be disappointed. I only wish I had read it sooner!
