In My E-Mail: “So Sexy So Soon”
Nov 17th, 2008 by admin
Hello,
I am a media literacy educator and positive body image advocate at In Her Image. I am honored to be writing to you on behalf of Diane Levin and Jean Kilbourne, internationally recognized experts on the impact of the media on children and teens and authors of the new book So Sexy So Soon: The New Sexualized Childhood and What Parents Can Do to Protect Their Kids.
In an era where children and teens take cues from highly sexualized TV shows and commercials, movies, toys, websites, and video games, So Sexy So Soon gives parents the information, skills, and confidence they need to play a proactive role with their children around sexual issues. The book offers practical strategies to counteract the disturbing messages that bombard youth every day so that parents, teachers, counselors, and other adults are better able to help kids healthfully navigate our media-saturated and sexualized culture.
Diane, Jean, and I appreciate the invaluable blogging work you are doing and believe that our mission is well-matched with yours. Information, including reviews and praise for the book, can be found on www.sosexysosoon.com. I am attaching press materials for your convenience. We would so appreciate your linking to sosexysosoon.com from your site as well as passing along news of the book through your blogs, enews, internet groups and so on. We would be happy to add your organization to our resource list and link to your site.
Thanks so much for the good work you do. We look forward to seeing where our collaborative efforts can lead!
All the best,
Julia BarryDiane Levin, Ph.D.
Jean Kilbourne, Ed.D.
I recently attended a lecture Diane Levin gave about So Sexy, So Soon, although I haven’t read the book yet. It’s on my list!
Diane and Jean are doing such important work.
