There's more to radio, of course, than music, news, and drive-time talk shows.
You and your child may listen to a live action as it happens "out there somewhere" in the nighttime hours event, that is taking place in your neck of the woods. Great drama and discussion to be had by all.
Explore the programming of other countries. Encourage teenagers to analyze how European radio stations interpret and prioritize news events, comparing their coverage to the way the stories are told or covered by the local network affiliate. Great learning experience.
Children enjoy talking to other children in faraway places just as much as adults enjoy talking to other adults in other states and foreign lands. Teens can have a enriching experience.
In addition to listening to the radio, many children accept the challenge of making radio sets. With various science kits, a child may build a radio receiver. Very rewarding for a child.
Walkie-talkies are a variation on the radio theme. You may want to encourage your children to learn Morse code and to practice sending and receiving coded messages over small radio units connecting bedrooms within your home or connecting the bedrooms of other children in your neighborhood.
Congrats on front page!
Loved walkie-talkies as a kid.
