It reveals that half or more of all children have bedrooms that contain a television (53%), a radio (70%), a tape player (64%), and/or a CD player (51%); ...

The new communication technologies play a major role in the lives of children & adolescents, who have available an almost continual diet of highly vivid, on demand, audiovisual images. In order to paint a comprehensive picture of children's media environment & media use patterns, a national study of the media environment & media habits of U.S. children ages 2 through 18 years was undertaken. This report includes results for two nationally representative samples totaling 3,155 children ages 2-18 years, including over-samples of both Black & Hispanic children.

Jonathan Takiff: Earphones kids (and parents) will love

The gizmo: Maxell Headphones Safe Kids.

Gimme a Break: It's a relief when the children have headphones on a long journey. Beats adult forced you to listen to their repetitive video game sounds, music or sound tracks shaking teenybop cartoons. But while you appreciate the calm, the kids can do themselves permanent damage, warns the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

Listening too hard for too long on the headphones can cause noise-induced hearing loss.ASHA points to a recent study in the Journal of American Medical Association found one in five teenagers are now suffering some hearing loss. Whassatyousay?

PUTTING ON THE BRAKES: A rule of thumb that I suggest: If you can clearly hear what your kids are listening to their headphones, they play music too loud. Tell 'em to turn down the volume by half.

You do not want to get the confrontation? Give your children the headphones automatically put a clamp on an excess volume - if you can find them. Both Kid-Tough Fisher-Price and Ultimate Ears headphones' Loud Enough earphones have been recently abandoned.(Overstock Online Ultimate Ears range from $ 8 to $ 65.

It is horrible to even think about the budget cuts in our public schools. The very ones that actually took music away from the elementary school my daughter attends for almost one month in 2008.

As an educator I was furious that my second grade child was not going to receive instruction in music at all during her school year. Obviously I was not the only one infuriated, and the school managed to find a music teacher to give them once a week instruction.

The efforts of a month long event such as Music In Our Schools will heighten the awareness of and commitment to the children of this United States of America and their exposure to music of all styles, cultures, and genres.
