Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games And What Parents Can Do $16.99 Listening to pundits and politicians you'd think that the relationship between violent video games and aggressive behavior in children is clear. Children who play violent video games are more likely to be socially isolated and have poor interpersonal skills. Violent games can trigger real-world violence. The best way to protect our kids is to keep them away from games such as Grand Theft Auto that are rated M for Mature. Right? Wrong. In fact many parents are worried about the wrong things! In 2004 Lawrence Kutner PhD and Cheryl K. Olson ScD cofounders and directors of the Harvard Medical School Center for Mental Health and Media began a $1.5 million federally funded study on the effects of video games. In contrast to previous research their study focused on real children and families in real situations. What they found surprised encouraged and sometimes disturbed them: their findings conform to the views of neither the alarmists nor the video game industry boosters. In Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth about Violent Video Games and What Parents Can Do Kutner and Olson untangle the web of politics marketing advocacy and flawed or misconstrued studies that until now have shaped parents' concerns. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all prescription Grand Theft Childhood gives the information you need to decide how you want to handle this sensitive issue in your own family. You'll learn when -- and what kinds of -- video games can be harmful when they can serve as important social or learning tools and how to create and enforce game-playing rules in your household. You'll find out what's really in the games your children play and when to worry about your children playing with strangers on the Internet. You'll understand how games are rated how to make best use of ratings and the potentially important information that ratings don't provide. Grand Theft Childhood takes video games out of the political and media arenas and puts parents back in control. It should be required reading for all families who use game consoles or computers. Almost all children today play video or computer games. Half of twelve-year-olds regularly play violent Mature-rated games. And parents are worried... "I don't know if it's an addiction but my son is just glued to it. It's the same with my daughter with her computer...and I can't be watching both of them all the time to see if they're talking to strangers or if someone is getting killed in the other room on the PlayStation. It's just nerve-racking!" "I'm concerned that this game playing is just the kid and the TV screen...how is this going to affect his social skills?" "I'm not concerned about the violence; I'm concerned about the way they portray the violence. It's not accidental; it's intentional. They're just out to kill people in some of these games." What should we as parents teachers and public policy makers be concerned about? The real risks |
