Parenting In A Sexualized, Digital Age 预览

Equip Your Kids to Thrive in a Digital World

Whether it’s the eight-year-old looking at pornography on his smartphone during the bus ride to school or the sleepover at a friend’s house where no parental controls are activated, our kids need to be equipped to think critically and act courageously because they will be confronted by harmful content and inappropriate tech use. What is most important, what will stick with your kids, is not how many activities and devices you said “no” to and controlled effectively. The greatest impact you will have on your kids’ stewardship of technology will be your stewardship of technology. Choose courage instead of fear and use the tools at hand for the benefit of your family. Choose connection instead of digital isolation and let your kids see the value you place on real relationships, and being “face to face.” Choose to turn the channel because you see no benefit in watching what is on the screen and you want to honor your family. This is the stuff you can’t get from technology, but you can teach through your use of technology!
