The Effect of the Media on Child Behavior

According to the American Academy of Pediatricians, "Extensive research evidence indicates that media violence can contribute to aggressive behavior, desensitization to violence, nightmares, and fear of being harmed.".  Taking the family to a movie for children is a classic summertime activity.  But how do you know if the movies that you want see are good movies?  For that matter, how do you know that the feature film will have good child behavior examples?  Will it be like the last children's feature film where you cringed through a third of the scenes and hoped your kids wouldn't pick up any of the bad child behavior habits from the movie?

Fortunately, Discovery Journey reviews kids movies and children's books for you.  We'll certainly give you an idea about whether the movie or book is of good quality.  More importantly, we also tell you the character traits that are exhibited in the movie such as responsibility, honesty, friendship, and compassion. 

 

In fact, we'll provide positive and negative examples for ten character traits found in each kid movie and children's book that we review.  Additionally, we review each kid movie and book for seven behavior content categories such as violence, bad language, and sexual content.  These reviews will help you avoid media that has negative child behavior.  Based on our reviews, you will know exactly what to expect when you take your family to a kid movie.  We also review kid movies that are released on DVD.  You'll also have security knowing that the books your children read won't have negative child behavior.
