Do you agree or disagree to expose children to the realities of life through stories in books based on the following issues and what do you think is the most crucial issue?
1. Issue of Violence
2. Issue of Sexuality (Sex 鈥?man and woman relationship)
3. Issue of Sexism (Gender issue)
4. Issue of Racism

(Separations, Annulments, Divorce, Abandonment, and
Single Parenthood )
6. Issue of Death, Aging, and the Handicapped
Survey on People鈥檚 Awareness of the Issues Affecting Children鈥檚 Books?
Actually all of the above.
All are issues that eventually all children must learn, one way or another, how to face and get through or learn to not be a victim of.
I find it interesting that you posted this in the %26quot;Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered%26quot; category yet you have completely ignored GLBT issues.
Sexuality: Understanding sexual orientation
Gender Identity: When your body doesn't match what gender you feel you are inside.
or in your %26quot;Issue of the Changing Image of Family%26quot; you ignored Blended families, adoption by single or same-sex parents, being raised by same-sex parents, comming out, how to handle teasing or bullying [for whatever reason], dealing with children who want to know why they don't have a Mommy or a Daddy [again, for whatever reason]...and many other issues that face GLBT's families.
