A book all the parents should read
A wonderful book, that all parents should
read in order to eliminate their TVs and *live* again.

Frightening, relevant and persuasive
I was most struck with the information about
what happens to us physically when we watch television. The very act of
watching itself, without reference to content, changes the way our brains
operate. I recommend this to all teachers, parents, and broadcast journalists.

Get unplugged!
If I ever suspected that television was
an insidious pest (especially to children), this book confirms it! Reading
it as an adult, I've recognized myself in much of what Ms. Winn has to
say about the effects of television on the developing mind. This book has
changed my life, and it will (hopefully) change yours!

Learn what children really loose when
they watch TV.
This is the classic book on how television
affects our children and families. Just think about how children really
learn and how families should interact. Although this book was originally
written closer to the dawn of television in our culture, things really
haven't changed much. Ms. Winn had a great perception early on about how
harmful television would be to children and their families. Check it out
or better yet buy it from Amazon while you are here.
