The Influence of Media and Technology

Children today think, feel, communicate and learn differenctly than children of the past.  We are undertaking an experiment in child rearing.  Never before in history have children been raised with so much exposure to technology and media.  An average child sits in front of a TV, video or computer screen for 5 to 7 hours each day.  Research indicates that this hyper audio visual stimulation may be having a negative effect upon the learning skills and behavior of our children. This hyper stimulation is having a detrimental effect upon the learning skills, communication, behavior and values of our children.     

School Work is Harder Than Ever Before

Schools are demanding that children learn harder and harder material in earlier and earlier grades.  When children are exposed to massive doses of colors, lights, explosions, fights, sarcasm, quick moving action, fresh Smart Alec role models, laughter at the expense of others, violence, rocks, animals and plants talking and imaginary animations on TV, movies and computer screens, school work by comparison becomes very boring and a strain on a child’s mind.  TV and video screen watching can have a hyponotic effect on children.  Children sit passive and mesmerized staring at the action on the screen.  School work, on the other hand, demands that children use their minds actively and concentrate for long periods of time. 

Learning Skills Are the Foundation of Success

Many children today have difficulties with key learning, study, test taking, memorization, communication, reading, listening, organization and comprehension skills.  There are a handful of key Learning Skills that create a foundation for learning and success.  When the learning of these skills is haphazard, not prioritized, or left to chance, children may experience frustration and difficulties when they try to learn.  When key learning skills are weak children often get turned off to school and do not want, or know how, to work up to their full potential.  The Goal Focused Child Program provides a method for building the key Learning and Success Skills that our children need to be successful in today’s world.
