Description

Is today’s fast-paced media culture creating a toxic environment for our children’s brains?’ In this landmark, best selling assessment tracing the roots of America’s escalating crisis in education, Jane M. Healy, Ph.D., examines how television, video games, and other components of popular culture compromise our children’s ability to concentrate and to absorb and analyse information. Drawing on neuropsychological research and an analysis of current educational practices, Healy presents in clear, understandable language:, – How growing brains are ‘physically’ shaped by experience, – Why television programs, even supposedly educational shows like ‘Sesame Street’, develop ‘habits of mind’ that place children at a disadvantage in school, – Why increasing numbers of children are diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, – How parents and teachers can make a critical difference by making children good learners from the day they are born.,

We’re Moving to a New Platform!

Hello there,

We’re excited to share that we’re in the process of moving to a brand-new platform designed to offer you an even better experience.

That said, we still have a lot to move—thousands of articles, blogs, and other content—which is taking a bit longer than we’d hoped.

While we continue transitioning everything over, you’ll be redirected to the new platform for sections like Events, Jobs, the Directory, Shops, and Membership, which are already up and running.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this process.
