surfer Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Sue Palmer's book "Toxic childhood" has a chapter about the media and it's effects on childhood. Chapter 9 the electronic village. At the end she references some further reading - "The media diet for kids" by Teresa Orange and Louise O'Flynn http://www.familiesonline.co.uk/article/ar...view/1488/1/53/ and "Remotely Controlled:How television is damaging our lives and what we can do about it" by Aric Sigman (Vermillion 2005) http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/catalog/book....data=0091902606 Not sure what they are like but Sue Palmers book is good. http://www.suepalmer.co.uk/ She has also written an accompanying book for parents called "Detoxing Childhood".
