Shaping Families

This Week's Program

Sep 4, 2010

Families, Movies and TV

Media choices bombard families today more than ever before. And families must pay more attention to those choices. Rose Pacatte, a Catholic sister who works in media literacy and education talks with Shaping Families this week about how families can begin thinking more mindfully about their media choices. Sister Rose has a deep passion for thinking about how media influences culture and how people consume it.

My Turn

Media Matters

Steve Carpenter

I agree with Sister Rose that it’s important for parents to get involved with their children’s media, whether it be music, TV, video games or film. Of course, that’s a lot easier to do when the kids are young. That’s why I am recommending VeggieTales.

Current Offer

Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's life on the lazy river takes a turn for adventure when they help a stranger in need. With unexpected twists around every bend, they discover that while helping others may not be the easiest thing to do, it's always the right thing to do!
