PARENTING
GROWING UP ONLINE

on-line, to those who are celebrities on YouTube. Explores the complicated
new lines being drawn between the real and virtual worlds for today's children
and for their parents. #12671/1725 60 minutes 2008 $129.95 *CC
CHILDREN ARE WATCHING
Explores how a parent's own behaviors serve as examples and influence their children by examining the relationships of four
families with teenagers. Disturbing connections arise for: an absentee father facing his son's rage (the Lauingers); a mother
whose repressed anger turns her daughter violent (the Partlows); a fast-driving father and his equally aggressive son (the
Moyers); and a single mother whose destructive relationships haunt her daughter (the Martins).

LISTENING TO CHILDREN: A Moral Journey
How does a child grow up to become a good person? What
values guide a child through life's challenges? How do
parents pass on inner strength to children? Child
psychiatrist Robert Coles explores such questions in a
penetrating study of the lives of eight children facing
problems of modern life: family breakdown, AIDS, racism,
and riots. Each child's pictures define their feelings and
quest for sources of strength in their families.

LEARNING DISABILITIES: A Complex Journey
Does your child have trouble reading? Does your daughter seem to have more difficulty with schoolwork than you would
expect, even though she's trying her hardest? Is your son avoiding school, claiming illness a little too often, insisting that he's
stupid when you know that's not really true? If so, your child may have a learning disability - a neurological problem
processing information that he or she is actually smart enough to understand. How do you find out? And where can you go for
help? Meet a developmental pediatrician, a parent advocate, and the head of a national learning disabilities organization as
they help answer those questions for you. #12569/0145 26 minutes 2005 $179.95
DAD'S HOME: New Trends in Parenting
Stay-At-Home Dads

making money. Today the ranks of stay at home dads are
growing as more moms go back to the workforce. Take a
look at three unique and different men who gave up their
careers for three very different reasons to become stay at
home dads, with surprising results.

DISCIPLINING KIDS
Ah, the jobs of parenthood! They include shaving cream all over the bathroom mirror, bubble gum in the hair, and wads of
toilet paper plastered to the ceiling. What's a parent to do? Give up? Scream? or simply yell, "Stop it you little brat or I'll flush
YOU down the toilet"? This practical video paints a dramatic picture of the wrong way to discipline kids and shows clear,
practical alternatives. #12259/1120 22 minutes 2008 $125.95 *CC
ROCKING THE CRADLE: Gay Parenting
The idea of same-sex parenting has taken a while to reach the consciousness of most North Americans. Until just a few years
ago, the majority of gays and lesbians did not even consider parenting, fearing the stigma their children might face. But now
over a full one-third of lesbian couples and roughly a quarter of gay male couples have opted to become parents. This
program captures six gay/lesbian families in their day-to-day lives. Two of these are families by adoption, two are coparenting
families, and two are lesbian families by insemination. Man-on-the-street interviews as well as emotional
testimonials from the 15 adults and 11 children featured in this film provide a range of perspectives on gay parenting.
