We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.

Kids are sponges. They will emulate what they see and what they're exposed to.

You can break down anything for a child, and you have to know what your child is ready for and what your child is not.

For me, literacy means freedom. For the individual and for society.

In a society that functions optimally, those who can should naturally want to provide for those who can't. That's how it's designed to work. I truly believe we're here to take care of one another.

The unvarnished truth is that we have spent the last decade funding the machinery of war, and our children have been sacrificed.

I'm a firm believer and always have been that there aren't all that many things that you should not express to children in an age-appropriate manner, and as a parent, that is your job - to be discerning as to whether or not your child can handle the information, provided you have the ability to express yourself in that age-appropriate way.
