Media is just another environment and parents just need to know that they're going to use the same rules in this different environment, and so you would sit down in the real world and play with your child, you would pretend and have a tea party. Well the same rules apply. You don't just park your kid in front of a screen and make them go play by themselves. If you sit down and play with them on that screen, on that technology, they're going to get more out of it. – Ari Brown	Found on CNN 8 years ago
I think that parents really feel like, 'Oh there's some different toolbox or some new rules for technology. I don't even know what Tumblr is so how could I monitor my child's Tumblr use?' well, that's not what it is. What it is is you always want to know who are your kids' friends, who are they hanging out with. So the same rules apply in the digital world. ... It's not any different and I think that it kind of can empower parents to really realize, 'Oh, I know how to do this. I got this. I can deal with whatever technology shows up tomorrow.'. – Ari Brown	Found on CNN 8 years ago
What we're really wanting to put out there is that life balance is important and everything in moderation and so yeah, you do want to keep an eye on how much time your child is spending in front of a screen, just as you want to keep an eye on how much they're doing something else, you want to make sure that they have a balance to their life. – Ari Brown	Found on CNN 8 years ago
No parent should feel guilty about their choices, we just want them to make educated and informed choices, the casual interactions talking to their kids really make a difference in the word gap. And, so does doing any activity with their kids -- on or off screen. – Ari Brown	Found on CNN 8 years ago
What we learn is that we as humans are very much social beasts and we are really learning by engaging with other humans and so the more that a digital technology can approximate that, the more a young child can get out of it. – Ari Brown	Found on CNN 8 years ago
What we're looking at is creating more evergreen rules and guidelines so that parents can go, 'Oh, I can do this,'. – Ari Brown	Found on CNN 8 years ago
It's not the famous postcard that you normally have of Rome, there's something more intimate, and that's the portrait we like. We also think couture is more intimate because there's a relationship between the client and the atelier. It's one of a kind and the best limited edition you could have. – Maria Grazia Chiuri	Found on CNN 8 years ago
I'm not trained as an architect, but I think about buildings a lot, architecture becomes a much more complex envelope, an envelope that can carry both the high and the low, the international and the very local, the rich and the poor. It's only when those things start to conflate in really beautiful ways that I think we can have a redeemed, redemptive architecture. – Theaster Gates	Found on CNN 8 years ago
Girls are learning at the youngest ages that their value comes from how they look, and the definition of attractive is very narrowly defined as being sexy or sassy (for the younger girls), sexuality is imposed upon them inappropriately, and they are encouraged to define their bodies -- not by how their bodies feel to themselves, but by how they look to others. This creates vulnerabilities for girls to the pitfalls we worry about -- distorted body image, eating disorders, depression and unhealthy sexual behavior. – Peggy Orenstein	Found on CNN 8 years ago
Dressing girls like grown women for Halloween communicates that they have the sexuality of adults, in the bodies of children, while little girls themselves likely have very little awareness of adult or even adolescent sexuality, or what sex is really about, the adults who are seeing them on the streets do. We are also communicating to adults that little girls are sexually appealing, and this message has tragic implications for their vulnerability to sexual abuse. – Teresa Downing-Matibag	Found on CNN 8 years ago
Girls can dress up as dragons, monsters, spies, secret agents, mummies, queens, and even Peter Pan and the Fairy Godmother, they can be Captain Hook, Santa Claus, the Lone Ranger and cowgirls, as well as lion tamers, scary clowns, astronauts, firefighters, sea captains, rock stars and Indy 500 racers. – Teresa Downing-Matibag	Found on CNN 8 years ago
Marketers basically decide what is 'girl' and what is 'boy,' which ultimately leads to two very distinct ways to profit as well as a blind acceptance from the consumer who, often, doesn't realize it's happening, girls are inundated from a very young age with inappropriate messaging by way of products like 'skinny' jeans for toddlers, or T-shirts that say, 'I'm too pretty to do homework, so my brother does it for me,' and sexy Halloween costumes. Kids begin to codify other kids by placing them in strict categories that they've been taught -- not born with. Inevitably, kids begin to believe that girls need to be sexy, and boys believe it, too. – Michele Yulo	Found on CNN 8 years ago
I was thinking how embarrassed I would be to have her walk around in that costume, and she was embarrassed as well, dressing up as a sexpot is not part of my vision for a happy, healthy childhood. Outfits like that not only suggest a style of dress that is inappropriate but also emphasize the notion of dressing to titillate men, rather than dressing in clothes that make you feel good about yourself. – Diane Murray of Wood-Ridge	Found on CNN 8 years ago
