Are you allowing the Media to raise your children? 
There are cell phones, iPods, video games, computers and television. Not to mention texting, tweeting and even sexting. Kids want it all. Their friends have it all. And the all gets worse every year. 
The more options, the more parents feel out of control. 
What if you were told: 
- By age 18, the average young person will have seen 18,000 acts of violence on television. 
- Children who watch more than 2 hours of television per day after age 3 are twice as likely to develop asthma before age 12. 
- Brain scans of kids who play violent video games show an increase in emotional arousal or aggression -- and a corresponding decrease in brain activity associated with self-control, inhibition and attention. 
- Advertisers spend more than 12 billion dollars per year on messages aimed at the youth market. And the average child watches more than 40,000 TV commercials per year. 
Shocking, isn't it? And it's only the tip of the iceberg. 
Enter the book, Kids Under Fire -- Seven Simple Steps to Combat the Media Attack on Your Child, by Jean Rogers, writer and parent educator who has been helping parents and children since the mid 1990's. 
No one in this book suggests television is the devil. The book is not about unplugging from the media altogether. It s about creating balance in the home and raising children to become thoughtful consumers of media. 
Through humorous, poignant stories of her own children and those of families she has coached, Rogers reveals an easy, step-by-step process that works for any shape family and any lifestyle. 
In this book you will discover how to: 
- Ask the right questions about what your children are seeing, playing, and downloading. 
- Interpret shocking statistics about how the Media have infiltrated childhood. 
- Understand, in simple terms, how the Media affect the brain development of your child. 
- Avoid low scholastic achievement, aggressive behavior, and attention problems exacerbated by heavy Media consumption. 
- Take advantage of the best the Media have to offer your family. 
Parenting in the media age need not be scary. It can be fulfilling and even make it easier to teach the lessons of life. And it can be fun -- both for kids and for parents. 
The focus of this book is pre-teen. And Rogers offers her three amazing children -- now healthy, happy teenagers -- as proof that her seven steps work. 
For Rogers, the result of using this methodology has been a closer and richer relationship with her children. 
And if you're a parent, isn't that what it's all about?
