Parenting, Technology, and the Truth

In the first episode of our new season, Cameron and Anna will talk about what it looks like to have a discipleship mindset regarding our kids and technology. Our desire as parents is to raise children who love Jesus and have their own relationship with him. With Scripture as our guide, we can teach our children to handle technological tools with godly wisdom, to be faithful to God's Word when they are outside of our homes."The reality is your child is going to go out in the real world, and they are going to have their own phone, and they aren't going to have a parent to monitor or filter the internet."Resources:Matthew 15:10-28Recorded podcast with Sarah Zylstra Scrolling Alone: How Instagram Is Making a Generation of Girls Lonely, Anxious, and SadPlease see also our resources tab for Rooted articles on technology and social media.Is It Time for a Phone?
