HEALTHY MEDIA FOR CHILDREN
John K. Burton, M.D.
Healthy media for children is about identifying the potential benefits to children from the various forms of media. Media can include television, radio, and the movies, as well as the internet, video games, and even toys. All of these forms of media are a part of the modern child's world. It is impossible, and probably not even desirable, to prevent children from being exposed to these aspects of their world. Instead, parents, teachers, and other adults can use principles of healthy media to make the child's media experience one that enriches the imagination, fosters the child's social and moral development, and helps build a secure sense of self.
