Are you a member of a faith or humanist community concerned about media and advertising’s impact on children? Please consider:
Media tools are marvelous. However - and this is a key point - young children are in a crucial developmental stage and their needs make it important that the adults who care for them are intentional about media use in their environments.
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:
•present research findings 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
-
•strategize for intentional and creative use of media in enjoyable, age-appropriate ways.
Donations are heartily appreciated and acknowledged.
