  3. Witness for Childhood



When we talk about media and young children, we often  speak of values. Whose values do we mean? Some are most concerned with violence, some with early sexualization, others with commercialization of childhood.  Healthy media choices are not necessarily the same from one family to another.  We need solutions that respect and build on our own understanding and priorities.


Healthy Media Choices, a 501c3 nonprofit organization based in Vermont and New York, helps parents, caregivers and teachers of young children use their own insights to come to terms with media influence.


Our workshops for parents, caregivers and teachers:


•are research-based, non-judgmental and embrace

multi-cultural perspectives. 


•take place in schools, libraries, national and regional conferences and with groups meeting in community centers and  private homes.

We:

•look at research about early childhood development and media

•use exercises and self-assessment tools to access what we already understand

•share in small and general group discussions

  1. strategize for intentional and creative use of media in enjoyable, age-appropriate ways.


We help you bring media literacy home
