Book Description
From Library Journal
From San Francisco Public Broadcasting
System affiliate KQED comes Chen's guide to children's television. For
20 years the public conception of children and TV has gone hand in hand
with words like addiction, exploitation, and plug-in drug. To those who
suggest turning it off or throwing it away, Chen (currently director of
the KQED Center for Education and Lifelong Learning and formerly with
Children's Television Workshop) more realistically responds with a call
to control its use. Likening this type of control to watching one's
food intake, he prescribes a family TV diet plan, under which children
ask to watch a certain program, not just "watch TV." He delves into the
use of VCRs, the worth of camcorders, and the dangers of video games.
Mr. Rogers is spoken of glowingly, and the oft-maligned Barney comes
through with positive stats. Chen praises reading, abhors violence, and
talks common sense. A very worthwhile purchase for public libraries.
