Understanding the influence Chapter 9: Understanding the influence Of the Media

Today’s Media Presence • Media presence is prevalent in our lives today. • We have easy, ready access to volumes of information which have potential positive and negative influences. • Terrorism, conflict, and war occur in front of our eyes each day on television programs and news. • Extensive media coverage of ongoing military operations creates daily anxiety for children/youth impacted by the deployment of a parent/loved one.

What They Understand About War and Violence Ages 5–6 • Begin to understand events in context... • But often one piece at a time • Intellect not integrated with emotional response Ages 7 and up • Think more logically and understand more complex ideas • Start to look at causes for events • May see contradictions between war and what they have been told

How Much News Should Children Watch? • Depends on age and maturity • Parent/Caregiver should watch with them • Talk about what was watched • Limit exposure to graphic images (especially young children)

Talking to Children/Youth About Terrorism and War • Children/youth ask tough questions and these are the most difficult to answer. • Age, individual personality, and temperament influence reactions/responses. • Children/youth also tend to personalize the news they hear. • It is not always possible to judge if/when they are scared or worried—they may be reluctant to show fears. • It’s important to look for behavioral/emotional clues.

Adult Opinions and Views • May burden youth with adult concerns • May raise new questions and concerns • May feel need to take care of adult • May cut off child’s expression Be a good listener—youth need to be heard and understood.

What Do I Say? • Use words and concepts your child/youth can understand to explain terrorism/war. • Give them honest information and answers to questions. • Be prepared to repeat explanations or have several conversations. • Acknowledge and support child/youth’s thoughts, feelings, and reactions. • Be consistent, reassuring, and don’t make unrealistic promises. • Avoid stereotyping—teach tolerance and explain prejudice. • Remember you are a role model and your reactions are being watched closely.
