Can children be negatively affected by family environment, TV, Internet and too much individualism?
Yes - according to a recent report by "The Children's society". Report released on Feb 2nd 09.
"The Children's society" has released a report demonstrating how children are being affected by family environment, TV, Internet and individualism - to name but a few.It examines the darker side of these elements and the impact on well being.
The research was spearheaded under the banner of - making childhood better. The bbc has some video testimonials reflecting children & young people's perspectives.
It's funny how this report seemed to look at the dark side of Internet time, I wonder how much credibility they gave to the MacArthur report, which I blogged about recently - stating the positives (Internet)?
