LIBERTAS TV: Why is there so much violence among children today?

On October 5, 2018.  violence among children was the topic of the “On the Daily” of LibertasTV Dubrovnik television, where the guest was Director of Child and Youth Protection Center Prof. Sc. D. Gordana Buljan Flander. When asked by the editor Dajana Brzica why is there so much violence among the children today, the director said:

“I think there are many reasons, one of which is that children are surrounded by violence, it’s us adults who are offering them violent heroes. When violence occurs between adults and children, we often react only when there is physical injury and physical violence. Violent children, violent adults, they get the covers. A child who has received a prize at a competition in mathematics gets three rows on the last page. Movies are full of violence as well as video games, and some research shows that parents spend 10 minutes a day with their children. In 10 minutes, they do not even get to do anything at all, let alone educate children or talk about violence.
