Parent Tip on Technology #3...
The Elementary school phase is where kids start to engage with technology and actually create with it. The more opportunities and rewards the technology gives, the bigger risk. So what?
The best way to explore the possibilities of technology is to always have clear expectations. Consistency and Clarity are the keys. So how? Your role should be a team manager, rather than secret agent.
Watch this quick Technology Tip by Jon Acuff.

- A team manager says, "I trust my kids, but I'm not ready to trust the 800 million other people on the internet. I limit your use of technology because I love you."
