Children will have accumulated 22,000 hours of television viewing by the time they graduate from high school, which is twice the amount of time they will have spent in school. They will have seen 350,000 television commercials by the age of 17. Read the "Media and Children" https://www.aap.org/en-us/advocacy-and-policy/aap-health-initiatives/pages/media-and-children.aspx?nfstatus=401&nftoken=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&nfstatusdescription=ERROR%3a+No+local+token(Links to an external site.).

2. How can we help our children and youth to become critically literate and reactive to the powerful influence of television, video games, commercial advertising, popular magazines, and movies? Feel free to look up resources (but make sure that you cite them).
3. Speculate on how these unrealistic body images in the media influence girls' or boys' leisure choices and/or recreation-related behaviors? Provide a specific example.
