Comments From Workshop Participants
"Very timely and needed topic/discussion. Good balance of research and anecdotal information to help guide adults (both parents and teachers) when dealing with kids and media-induced intensive images. Good Q&A too."
Middle School Guidance Counselor"As a parent of young children, I found this topic very informative and extremely interesting. I especially enjoyed the area of how to reassure children of various ages after they have viewed something frightening."
Elementary Educator, Grades 1-6"This program was definitely one of the best. If only all parents and educators could have been here!"
Guidance counselor"I can't wait for the book to come out (as a teacher and a parent). Very important information and wish it was easier for people to recognize and respect these issues! I'm going to share the information here with my co-workers and parents and encourage them to look into this information (and the book)."
Child Care Teacher"Good speaker. Helpful overhead transparencies. This information will be helpful in my classroom. I particularly liked that the speaker based the information on child development. Thank you for a very important topic."
Classroom Teacher"The child developing is so sensitive to the issues discussed. Very valuable information for the age I teach. Parents often have questions about their preschoolers' fears and want my recommendations. We'll get the book for our parent library."
