WebWatch e-newsletters prove invaluable for one working from home with little networking opportunities. I regularly print of info from the Newsletter for my own learning experiences and also to pass onto Parents if and when some sharing of information is important for a positive experience and outcome for all stakeholders involved in my Service – The Child and Parent and Myself.

Children’s animated TV programs: A content analysis

E. Beverley Lambert and Susan Clancy
Charles Sturt University

This study describes the use of content analysis to develop a framework for analysing children’s animated television programs (in this case, Bob the Builder) and as such represents the initial stage of a larger project. Results indicate this popular TV series for preschoolers presents contradictory social messages about the roles of men and women as depicted through the two main characters, Bob and Wendy.
