In this day and age, MEDIA has become the new babysitter. When mom is busy in the kitchen or on the phone, she switches on the TV so that little Susie can behave. When the kids come home from school, they turn on the computer to chat, play online games, or simply surf around. When their favorite show is done,would browse their favorite kids’ magazine.
Unfortunately, we don’t really know what these different media forms really contain or what effect have on kids. We may not know it but we could be putting them in the danger of being in the hands of the wrong babysitters.
