It is hard to believe the summer is half way over! Our family resources for you this month focus on technology, which is a huge part of our children’s lives...particularly in the summertime. We have three separate classes this month looking specifically at this topic.

PRESCHOOL

This is the digital age and the age of rapid technological advancement. We can’t run from it, so we have to make sure we understand it, are in tune to it, and most importantly, in control of it—rather than letting it control us or our kids. This video discusses how much screen time your preschooler should be experiencing. Let’s work together to make sure technology works for the good of your family’s spiritual growth instead of against it.

KIDS

The stats say it all! Approximately 90% of children are online by 3rd grade. We live in a digital age...exhibit A you are reading this online parenting class while connected to the Internet! The Internet is neutral, neither good or bad. However, just like real life, there can be some negative consequences if we don’t use it wisely. How do we keep our children safe online? You are the guardian of your child’s heart, and we want to help you keep that pure by putting some boundaries on the use of your child’s mobile devices.

TEENS

The summer months can be a blessed time as a family, yet they can also be a challenge. The summer months are full of free time for your tween/teen and is also a season of more time in the car traveling to those summer vacation spots. These moments can be a great time of bonding and conversation, OR they can be times for everyone to quietly play, swipe and tap away on their mobile devices. We wanted to offer you some quick tips on how to help your teens manage mobile tech. We hope this video gives you ideas on how to set the tone for your family and take back some valuable moments and memories!
