[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 35590, member: 1991"] Regarding easy child feeling unsafe - whether he just shoved her, or it was something more - the thing is, if SHE felt unsafe, then he was behaving inappropriately. End of story. I'm not sure what the book is, saying to remove all negative influences in the form of tapes & DVDs - that is very subjective. Years ago it was The Beatles, rock & roll and Elvis that our parents wanted to ban. And if you ban it, will he just go elsewhere? At least at home you know where he is. Whatever your point of view on this, you will ALWAYS be able to find a book somewhere that tells you that what you want to do is right. Whether those books are helpful in the long run or not - I'm no expert. Maybe reading a range of books from a range of backgrounds would give you some more choices. The internet should not be his social gateway to the world. If it is, it's unhealthy because it is NOT balanced social interaction. He needs to have access to people's voices an facial expressions as part of the social interaction package. He does NOT need the internet to breathe. Marg [/QUOTE]
