How the Media Influences Your Child
"It shapes their reality. It can set their expectations. It can define their values, their behavior." — Jim Steyer, author of The Other Parent, on how the media affects children
Every day, children are bombarded by messages and images from the media—messages about how to behave, what choices to make and what to think.

developed good judgment or the ability to process the information they're given.
