Video Games are
how the Military Desensitizes
young soldiers to Violence -is this what you want
your Children Addicted to?
On the Jane Pauley show, this Thursday, May 19
on NBC- join Dr. David Walsh, President and Founder
of the National Institute on Media and the Family and
child development expert as he illuminates the dark
realities for 1 in 8 children who play video games -
video addiction.
Addiction to video games is one of the tragic consequences
from unchecked media consumption by our kids. Dr.
Walsh expands our national dialogue on this topic
as he talks with three young people who have serious
video game addictions. One young man, Caesar, could
only recently stop playing games after his addiction
led to the loss of his second job, the complete and
negative change of his personality and a life he didn't
recognize as his own.
This little discussed phenomenon of video game addiction
is a children's health epidemic and only one of the
negative impacts from excessive and unchecked media.
Join forces with the National Institute and Dr. Walsh
as we bring this issue and others like violence, illiteracy,
obesity … into national focus. The Institute's
nationwide program, MediaWise® supports
families and communities as they seek to create healthy
media habits for their children. When you watch
what your kids watch - things change.
