"We live in an industry--generated culture--a culture created and maintained by businesses -- children\'s real human needs don\'t get met. Parenting Well in a Media Age, like no book before it, articulates the challenges of parenting in our depersonalized society. It helps parents tap the well of wisdom within and offers hopeful alternatives for parents and concerned adults wanting to maintain the humanity of our children and the integrity of our culture."
