I don’t want to come across as some TV control freak; really, I am a reasonable person.  I feel I can talk to my kids about most anything, in terms they can handle, and provide some context for them to process what is going on in this crazy little world of ours.  I do take my job as a parent pretty seriously however, and I won’t buy in to the media’s inevitable influence on my kids without a fight.  So, it is with some satisfaction that I share the following links.  I was starting to think it was just me.
