Preventing childhood obesity
Children's health has made tremendous strides over the past century. In general, life expectancy has increased by more than thirty years since 1900 and much of this improvement is due to the reduction of infant and early
childhood mortality. Given this trajectory toward a healthier childhood, we
begin the 21st-century with a shocking development-an epidemic of obesity
in children and youth. The increased number of obese children
throughout the U.S. during the past 25 years has led policymakers to rank
it as one of the most critical public health threats of the 21st-century.
Preventing Childhood Obesity provides a broad-based examination of the
nature, extent, and consequences of obesity in U.S. children and youth,
including the social, environmental, medical, and dietary factors responsible
for its increased prevalence. The book also offers a prevention-oriented
action plan that identifies the most promising array of short-term and
longer-term interventions, as well as recommendations for the roles and
responsibilities of numerous stakeholders in various sectors of society to
reduce its future occurrence. Preventing Childhood Obesity explores the
underlying causes of this serious health problem and the actions needed to
initiate, support, and sustain the societal and lifestyle changes that can
reverse the trend among our children and youth.

Through collage art, group activities, stories, and questions for reflection, children will learn how to explore and take risks; how to name and banish their dragons; how to set, maintain, and respect boundaries; and to experience how the unjust distribution of Earth's resources affects other living things.

Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents
Violent video games are increasingly popular, raising concerns by parents, researchers, policy makers, and informed citizens about potential harmful effects. Chapter 1 describes the history of violent games and their explosive growth. Chapter 2 discusses research methodologies, how one establishes causality in science, and prior research on violent television, film, and video games. Chapter 3 presents the General Aggression Model, focusing on how media violence increases aggression and violence in both short and long-term contexts. Important scientific questions are answered by three new studies. Chapter 4 reports findings from a laboratory experiment: even children's games with cartoonish violence increased aggression in children and college students. Chapter 5 reports findings from a survey study of high school students: frequent violent game play leads to an angry and hostile personality and to frequent aggression and violence. Chapter 6 reports findings from the first longitudinal study video game effects: elementary school children who frequently played violent games early in the school year became more verbally and physically aggressive, and less helpful. Chapters 7 and 8 compare a host of risk factors for development of aggression, and find video game effects to be quite important. Chapter 9 describes the role of scientific findings in public policy, industry responses to scientific findings, and public policy options. Chapter 10 recommends that public policy debates acknowledge the harmful effects of violent video games on youth, and urges a more productive debate about whether and how modern societies should act.
