violent kids?
What are the kids watching/playing? I know, first hand, how infuential tv can be...
When I noticed I could watch, without visceral response, a child be "assaulted" on fictional program, but that I cringe and look away when an animal gets hurt, I realized I had become callused to violence on tv and in movies.
How much more influential must the mesmerizing video games be, with their battles, and guns, and shoot 'em up themes?
I am not a parent, but as a teacher I see the changes in childeren in my classes.
Parents, open your eyes and BE PARENTS.
