What Parents Need to Know
About Is Your House Killing You?
Parents need to know that kids probably won't be too interested in this dry but revealing Australian series that looks at the harmful impact of molds, toxins, and other pollutants in a home. Although it also covers ways to deal with these substances, viewers who are sensitive about environmental or medical issues (and/or their homes) might find it a little alarming. While the show doesn't talk specifically about environmental issues, it does have some subtle pro-green messages.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the media addresses environmentalism. Does a TV show specifically have to talk about living “green” in order to have environmental messages? Families can also discuss how their own homes might be impacting their health. What kinds of precautions can you take to avoid pollutants? If you think that there's something in your home that's making someone in your family sick, where can you go for help?
