Description
<p>Young children today inhabit an environment saturated and shaped by a complex "mediascape" that envelops and bombards them day and night. As the amount of media that kids consume has risen over the past few decades, so too has the prevalence of unhealthy and risky behaviors that kids learn from the media, including rising levels of aggression, obesity, substance abuse, and unsafe sexual behavior. Common Sense Media CEO James Steyer reveals the impact media can have on young children's health and development and offers practical tools for combating negative effects. </p>
