How is violent media affecting our children, and what can we do about it to protect them…now and in the future, before it becomes to late.
Dr. Johnson and Dr. Berdahl, authors of Warning Signs: How to Protect Your Kids from Becoming Victims or Perpetrators of Violence and Aggression [Chicago Review Press, August 1, 2016], have written a thought-provoking parenting guide that addresses the following themes:
- Harmful media influences on youth and how to deflect them
- How exposures to violent and sexualized media, unproductive parenting, and certain traumas during childhood through early adulthood, when the brain is still developing, heighten the risk of being affected by aggression or violence
- Keys to building good relationships with your children to promote safety
- What we can do as parents to protect our children from the harm of entitlement, rage, hate, and extremism
I received a copy of this book and found it very interesting and as a Mom of a Tween, I found it to be a very helpful book with some great advice! I really enjoyed learning how to build good relationships with your children in regards to safety.
