Shewmaker explains that the manner in which a child is raised influences how they respond to media messages, particularly those shaded by sexual overtones. This text takes a hard look at the impact of advertisements, products, and entertainment on a child's psyche and offers strategies for helping kids become aware, critical, active media consumers. Drawing from research in a wide variety of disciplines, this book explores the interpersonal factors within children's lives that impact how they learn to process sexualized media messages. The book argues that an increase in marketing to children along with media-based fabrications of beauty, masculinity, and femininity impact the confidence and character of young children who are often greatly affected by what they see and hear. The author shares invaluable tips for promoting strengths in children and adolescents of both genders and presents the protective influence of communities to help children dismiss distorted media images"--Book jacket. 505 0 $a Mediating variables -- Development in context -- The case of the missing childhood -- The culture of celebrity -- The family matters -- Boy versus girl -- It takes a village -- Promoting media activism and creation. 650 0 $a Mass media and children $z United States. 650 0 $a Mass media and sex $z United States. 650 0 $a Sex in mass media. 830 0 $a Childhood in America. 941 $a 5 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214040014.0 952 $l PWAX296 $d 20160915010815.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160310010220.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20151124010444.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20151103031956.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7937697E81F911E58D57CB8FDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
