Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-19 00:00:00 Emery G Braccini I'm not quite sure how to rate this book because I had very different feelings about it at different points in the book. What I liked about it: *I was fascinated by the Medved's home life as they described it. They are Orthodox Jews and I was really impressed with their religious observances and how openly they described them in the book. *It really made me think about the things I talk about around my children. They make a case that the news erodes our children's innocence (teasers for the latest accident/sex scandal/murder on the 6:00 news that play during kids shows, dinner conversations about the latest presidential scandal). They suggest minimizing TV -- their home is TV-free -- and being careful about the conversations of current events that happen around children. *I really loved the last half of the book where they talk about the solution to this widespread cultural attack on the innocence of children. They give suggestions on how to develop a child's sense of security, sense of wonder, and sense of optimism. They also talk a lot about all the good things in our lives/country that we have to be grateful for and how we need to instill that sense of gratitude into our children rather than a discontent about how bad the world is. What I didn't like about it: *I always question when people come out strongly against things like both parents working when they seem to do it themselves. The Medveds point to dual-income families as a major cause of the disintegration of the family and, yet, they both seem to have extremely intense, high profile careers. The home life they describe sounds fantastic, but I have to wonder: how much of their own advice do they take? *The first half of the book makes a case that our society attacks the innocence of children through TV, media, peers, school, and parents. They make some good points - and it really did make me think - but I also felt like it was really, and unnecessarily, depressing. They picked the most shocking, horrific examples of things happening in schools. I felt better about this when I read the second half of the book, but I wish they'd provided a little more balance throughout the book rather than dividing it into two distinct sections.
