Do you suspect that screen time is adversely affecting your child’s well being?
Written before the advent of smart phones and tablets, Rabbi Kelemen’s survey of television’s negative effects on viewers remains pertinent. It includes extensive discussions of problems caused by both medium (depressed achievement and intelligence, difficulties with social interaction, obesity, and ADD/ADHD) and content (alcohol abuse, violence, and consumerism). Contains a section on risks associated with viewing children’s programming.
This volume is currently out of print; however, its contents are excerpted from To Kindle A Soul.
