More About This Book

Overview

Popular culture used to reflect the values of America. No longer. Now it is a voracious beast of materialism, celebrity and excess that shapes those values to meet its own greedy needs. Every day your children are bombarded with sexually explicit music, violent movies and video games, shock radio, Internet chat rooms the list goes on and on. You know this onslaught hurts your kids, and you want to do something to protect them. The reality is that your children¹s defense against popular culture starts inside your home with you!

In Your Children Are Under Attack, psychologist and national parenting expert Dr. Jim Taylor exposes how and why today¹s popular culture is destroying your children¹s values. Popular culture takes the most despicable values avarice, selfishness, gluttony, intolerance, deceit, and many others and makes them admirable, all to sell more products to unsuspecting children.

Dr. Taylor also describes how you can fight back and win this war for your kids. Your Children Are Under Attack shows you how, by focusing on six core values that popular culture works hardest to destroy:

  • Respect that is earned, not entitled
  • Responsibility for oneself rather than blaming others
  • Success that isn¹t linked to wealth or fame
  • Happiness that can¹t be bought
  • Family that strengthens America¹s values
  • Compassion rather than indifference

Your Children Are Under Attack helps you identify and reconnect with your values, and make those values the guiding forces in your children¹s lives. Dr. Taylor shows how your own highest values can help your family resist popular culture¹s assault and provides you with a reliable road map to lead your children to a solid future as successful, happy, and contributing adults.

This powerful book shows you how to instill these six values (and many others) in your children so they become their own. By making these values a focus in your home, you can ally yourself with your children to create a united front against popular culture¹s siege.

Dr. Taylor gives you the tools to do this in ways that are clear, practical and grounded in the real world of 21st-century parenting. And they¹re as effective as they are surprising:

  • Feel unconditional love for your children, but don¹t always express unconditional love
  • Don¹t be your children¹s friend
  • Your children need to fail to succeed
  • Happiness is experienced, not pursued
  • And many more

In the battle for your children¹s future, Your Children Are Under Attack gives you the power to protect your children and ensure that they grow up to be positive, strong, safe, and caring people in a world that has never been more dangerous.

    A MUST HAVE

    ¿Your Children are under attack how popular culture is destroying your kids¿ values, and how you can protect them.¿ This book is so true. Society does not care about the well being of our children. This is an important book that every parent must have ! If we don¿t look after our children they are going to follow all the wrong messages society is conveying therefore, we must filter what they watch on T.V., eat, and the list goes on and on. This book will guide you on how to adopt family principles and values.

    A Call to Arms for Parents, Counselors, Teachers, et. al.

    This jeremiad is written primarily for parents and caregivers; yet it is apropos for anyone concerned for the state of the well-being of the American child today. Dr. Taylor's razor-sharp insightful book gives the reader an inside look at all of the influences that are on the offensive against anyone who is looking out for the welfare of our future; namely physically, emotionally, and psychologically healthy children. Point-by-searing-point he guides the reader down the rot that has eaten away at our society mores; from pop culture, to coroporate greed that finances everything from rot-gut music, to fashion that sexualizes children and fosters values that tells our kids that they 'must have' everything in order to be happy, successful, fit in...you name it. This book is a must have, must read for anyone raising a child, no matter what the age. Dr. Taylor is an important voice in the national dialogue on child-rearing that, after the publishing of this book, will have to be listened to. Buy this book today...in fact buy two and give a copy to a friend. The future of our country depends on it.
