This is one of the articles that I introduced in my debate regarding parents' influencing how their kids can potentially "turn out". Not only does this suggest that parents influence their kids, but so does the media in a strong way, and at an early age. I know this is nothing that is too surprising as this has been a main train of thought for quit some time now. This article is suggesting that even more research is needed. Dr. Joe DiFranza states that the emphasis however, is on how parents influence their kids. He calls children, "Little Learning Machines",and parents need to be mindful on what kids watch, including parents behavior.
