SO SEXY SO SOON: THE NEW SEXUALIZED CHILDHOOD AND WHAT PARENTS CAN DO TO PROTECT THEIR KIDS
Book ID/图书代码： 01240008B20734
English Summary/英文概要： Thong panties, padded bras, and risqué Halloween costumes for young girls. T-shirts that boast “Chick Magnet” for toddler boys. Sexy content on almost every television channel, as well as in books, movies, video games, and even cartoons. Hot young female pop stars wearing provocative clothing and dancing suggestively while singing songs with sexual and sometimes violent lyrics. These products are marketed aggressively to our children; these stars are held up for our young daughters to emulate–and for our sons to see as objects of desire.
Popular culture and technology inundate our children with an onslaught of mixed messages at earlier ages than ever before. Corporations capitalize on this disturbing trend, and without the emotional sophistication to understand what they are doing and seeing, kids are getting into increasing trouble emotionally and socially; some may even to engage in precocious sexual behavior. Parents are left shaking their heads, wondering: How did this happen? What can we do?
So Sexy So Soon is an invaluable and practical guide for parents who are fed up, confused, and even scared by what their kids–or their kids’ friends–do and say. Diane E. Levin, Ph.D., and Jean Kilbourne, Ed.D., internationally recognized experts in early childhood development and the impact of the media on children and teens, understand that saying no to commercial culture–TV, movies, toys, Internet access, and video games–isn’t a realistic or viable option for most families. Instead, they offer parents essential, age-appropriate strategies to counter the assault. For instance:
• Help your children expand their imaginations by suggesting new ways for them to play with toys–for example, instead of “playing house” with dolls, they might send their toys on a backyard archeological adventure.
• Counteract the narrow gender stereotypes in today’s media: ask your son to help you cook; get your daughter outside to play ball.
• Share your values and concerns with other adults–relatives, parents of your children’s friends–and agree on how you’ll deal with TV and other media when your children are at one another’s houses.
Filled with savvy suggestions, helpful sample dialogues, and poignant true stories from families dealing with these issues, So Sexy So Soon provides parents with the information, skills, and confidence they need to discuss sensitive topics openly and effectively so their kids can just be kids.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 這是一本珍貴的指南，指導父母如何培養各年齡段的孩子，幫助處於叛逆期的少男少女對性及與性相關的事情樹立健康正確的認識。本書向父母傳授了大量的資訊，技巧，樹立他們的自信，有助於他們在孩子的成長過程中發揮積極持續的作用，即使他們年幼的子女深陷形形色色的性事件之中。這些有害資訊比以往任何時候都更氾濫，更令人擔憂，而我們的孩子每天都在受其侵害。即使是十分年幼的孩子（男孩和女孩）都希望像媒體中的人物角色那樣穿戴，行事，與人互動。然而，由於沒有情感上的諄諄教誨讓他們明白自己的所作所為，他們正一步步深陷情感，社交和對性的錯誤認識的麻煩之中。
在當今文化中，孩子對性別和性關係的知識來源都是人們口耳相傳的，憤世嫉俗的——貝茲娃娃，芭莉絲·希爾頓，WWF的摔跤選手，廣告、電影中的色情描寫，當然也包括輕而易舉就可登陸的色情網站，這一切使他們對人的身體，性和性方面的事情產生錯誤的理解，扭曲了他們的思維，不知道真正健康，親密的關係是什麼。
舉世聞名的兒童早期發展專家和媒體對青少年的影響研究專家：戴安娜·列文（哲學博士），讓·基爾蒙（教育博士）通力合作幫助處於厭倦，迷惘甚至恐懼中的父母，他們對孩子或是孩子的朋友的言行舉止感到不解甚至害怕。此書幫助父母樹立自信心，提供大量資訊，傳授有用技巧，有助於他們在孩子的成長過程中發揮積極持續得當的作用。本書講述了一個個發人深省的故事，展示孩子如何將他們的見聞內在化，更重要的是列出了廣泛實用的指導方針和策略來抵擋這些讓人不安的資訊。當下，媒體對孩子的衝擊日趨加劇，本書猶如一劑良藥，拯救孩子們易受影響的脆弱心靈。
