Welcome Sparks leaders. It's never to early to start talking to young children about topics as cartoon violence, gender stereotyping in TV shows and movies and nutrition and junk food advertising.

As you introduce the activities in this section to your girls, keep the following points in mind:

Keep it positive
The media is an important part of kids' lives. Playing on negative themes will be counter-productive to helping them develop a more critical eye.

Encourage input
Talking about media will quickly engage your girls; after all, they are all experts in this field! So invite them contribute their ideas and thoughts to the dialogue.

Involve parents
Keep parents informed about your activities, especially if they involve monitoring media at home.
