"Building
Effective Teacher and
Parent Communication"
September

and social justice.

*FOR
PARENTS
Rosalind
Wiseman will draw from
her newly released book,
Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin
Dads: Dealing with the
Parents, Teachers, Counselors
and Coaches That Can
Make or Break Your Child's
Future, to highlight
the challenges of "Perfect
Parent World" and
how parents become involved
in their child's conflicts
for better or worse.
Wiseman will explain
how the rites of passage
for children are also
rites of passage for
parents. Whether their
kids are being invited
to parties, trying out
for a sports team, applying
to colleges, or getting
into trouble, parental
actions and reactions
affect their children's
behavior. Wiseman will
offer parents practical
strategies for stepping
into — and stepping
out of — their
child's conflicts with
peers, teachers, parents
and coaches. She will
also suggest scripts
for handling the dynamics
of conflict and communication
between parents or within
groups of parents. A
question and answer
session and book signing
will follow the presentation.
*FOR EDUCATORS
Young people aren't
the only ones who experience
bullying, cliques, and
social isolation. The
hidden world of social
competition among parents
impacts the well being
of children and their
ability to succeed in
a seemingly ever-increasing
competitive world. Rosalind
Wiseman will draw from
her newly released book,
Queen Bee Moms
and Kingpin Dads: Dealing
with the Parents, Teachers,
Counselors and Coaches
That Can Make or Break
Your Child's Future,
to highlight the challenges
of “Perfect Parent
World” and how
parents become involved
in their child’s
conflicts for better
or worse. Wiseman will
explain how the rites
of passage for children
are also rites of passage
for parents. Whether
their kids are being
invited to parties,
trying out for a sports
team, applying to colleges,
or getting into trouble,
parental actions and
reactions affect their
children’s behavior.
Wiseman will highlight
concrete strategies
which educators can
use to foster positive
relationships with parents
to build effective partnerships
between school and home.
A question and answer
session will follow
the presentation.

Dr. Michael Rich
Dr.
Michael Rich, Assistant
Professor of Pediatrics
at Harvard Medical School
and Assistant Professor
of Society, Human Development
and Health at Harvard
School of Public Health,
came to medicine after
a 12-year career as a
filmmaker (including serving
as assistant director
to Akira Kurosawa on Kagemusha).
His current areas of health
research and clinical
work bring together his
experience and expertise
in medicine and media.
Cognizant of the potency
of the image and of the
primacy of media as a
source of information
and influence, Dr. Rich
studies media as a force
that powerfully affects
child health and health
behavior and uses it as
a tool for medical research,
education, and health
care policy.

WORRIED
ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF MEDIA
ON YOUR CHILDREN?
Our
children are using, interacting
with, and being influenced
by media and the technology
delivering it in more
ways than ever before.
They are bombarded by
messages and images that
impact their view of the
world and how they relate
to it. So what does scientific
research say about media
influences on today's
children?
Dr.
Michael Rich, pediatrician
and director of the
Center on Media and
Child Health at Children's
Hospital Boston, will
talk about media's influence
on today's youth; present
what doctors and researchers
know about the risks
and benefits of media;
offer realistic suggestions
to parents on how to
keep their children
healthy and safe in
the Information Age;
and take questions from
the audience.
*FOR
PARENTS
A recent Kaiser Family
Foundation survey found
that more and more,
America's youth are
"media multitasking."
Whether it's listening
to their iPod while
talking to friends on
Instant Messenger or
updating their MySpace
page while watching
MTV, kids are exposed
to over eight hours
of media content every
day. Sounds familiar?
So what does the scientific
research say about media's
effect on the health
of today's teens?

"Mastering
Media Messages - Healthy
Bodies, Positive Minds"**
February
6-7, 2007
Brandy King and David
Bickham, Ph.D.
Center
for Media and Child
Health
Brandy
King and David Bickham,
Ph.D. of the Center
for Media and Child
Health will meet with
students in grades 7-8
to discuss the effect
of media influence on
teens today who are
repeatedly exposed to
media images of the
body. Often messages
targeting young women
emphasize an ultra-thin
and unrealistic body
while those targeting
young men emphasize
an overly muscular hyper-male
figure as the "beauty
ideal." The influences
of these messages impact
the social climate at
school through incidents
of teasing and bullying
based on issues of body
image.
In
this presentation, students
will learn about body
image and why it is
important; see examples
of common media messages
about young men and
women in movies, television,
and advertising; and
learn the five core
concepts of media literacy.
The presentation will
review strategies for
deconstructing the messages
in advertising and how
to create a body-positive
environment. Teachers
will receive a list
of potential lesson
plan ideas for continuing
this conversation in
the classroom.
