Remotely Controlled:
How Television is Damaging Our Lives 52m
A
startling exposé
of our children's growing addiction to television and why and what
should be done to stop it. Aric Sigman looks at the statistics that
show television has become an obsession even more influential than
parents inside the household. In this insightful and shockingly
perceptive assessment of the relationship with the small screen, he
reveals the alarming reality of what television is actually doing
physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially. He provides
evidence as to how television contributes to the rising global obesity
rate by actually slowing our metabolic rate, stunts children’s brain
development, and is responsible for over half of all rapes and murders
in the industrialized world.

The Spoilt
Generation 55m
In the space of a
few decades the way we parent has changed dramatically. Something we
once did intuitively has become the subject of political fashion,
guided by experts. As parents we are older and more time-poor than ever
before, with the highest proportion of single-parent households in
history. Our children are now spoiled in ways that go far beyond
materialism. But they are suffering to a degree we never anticipated:
we now have the highest rates of child depression, underage pregnancy
and violent and anti-social behaviour since records began. Yet adults,
at every level, have retreated from authority and in doing so have
robbed our children of their basic supporting structures. In this
video,
Dr Sigman takes issues by the scruff of the neck, among them children's
sense of entitlement, the effects of TV and computers, single-parent
homes and 'blended' families, parental guilt and the compensation
culture. He offers a clear practical message to us all - parents,
grandparents, teachers and policy-makers alike - as to how we can
redress the status quo, redefine our roles and together cultivate
happier and better-behaved children.
