Summary: Fabulous Parenting Insights and Ideas
Review: I found this book clearly details the enormity and specifics of what we, as parents, are up against when dealing with media influences in our homes, as well as what opportunities are being forfeited, at our children's expense, for them to grow into thinking, creative, nurturing individuals by continual consumption and bombardment of media. While Gloria DeGaetano is realistic in that media is a permanent part of our world, she, thankfully, offers a variety of concrete solutions for counteracting this influence, while providing background research to also empower the reader or parent. It is time we address this critical issue in our families and find the power to change before it is too late! Parenting Well in a Media Age is a great motivator for taking back our rightful role as the primary influence in the raising of our children!! This is a ground breaking book, necessary for the time we are living in!

Summary: FINALLY!
Review: This book has me so excited! I couldn't put it down! I have read books dealing with similar content before, but Gloria DeGaetano puts forth a careful presentation of what EVERY parent must be aware of, both for the sake of their own children and their children's children.If you love your children, you will get and apply the knowledge found throughout this book! I have seen the lives of my own children transformed through the better understanding I have gained through Ms. DeGaetano's wisdom. I'm buying it for every single one of my friends who have children of all ages!

Summary: a must for every parent!
Review: This book is a must read for every parent! We've all become too comfortable with the idea that the media (tv's, computers, movies, video games) are an integral part of our households. This book presents many important reasons why this practice has to stop. It details how the media has negatively impacted our families and resulted in children with serious problems. It offers suggestions on how to substitute "quality" family time instead of media time and what qualitites and attributes parents need to nurture and focus on to counter our industry-generated culture. I only wish I had this book when my children were still young!! but I'm passing it along to them to read in hopes that it will guide them when the grandchildren arrive.

Summary: WHO ARE YOUR CHILDREN'S PARENTS?
Review: This is the question DeGaetano brings to our minds with an impact worthy of a knock-out punch. Surrounded and manipulated by an immense media and corporate conglamorates, our children are drowning in a sea of inconsistency and confusion. DeGaetano comes through with solutions and guidelines to return parenting control to the rightful parents. Thank God for her insight and concern for all of us!
