Product Description
Based on interviews with families, teachers and child specialists, this study examines television's impact on children. The book addresses the question - how does the passive act of watching television affect the developing child's relationship with the real world? This revised edition includes material on video games and computers, as well as a new chapter, "Television and the school". This work aims to help parents and educators re-examine their attitudes towards television and become aware of its dangers.

Meg (USA: NH) (2008/06/07):
I loved this book-- it was well-written, well-researched, and really made a mark on me. I'm finally getting rid of my much-loved copy simply because it's made such an impression on me that I don't think I actually need to read it again.
