Technology plays a huge role in our everyday lives—it helps us stay organized, work efficiently, and stay entertained. At the same time, it raises important questions about how our kids are interacting with it and being influenced by it. This month, we want to help you slow down, ask the right questions, and thoughtfully discern how your family should navigate technology, rather than simply following what feels normal or what everyone else is doing. Our Online Parenting Class is designed to help you think through this area with clarity and purpose.

We’re also sharing several helpful resources, including a Parent Toolbox video that addresses one of the biggest questions parents ask: When should I let my child on social media? Brian Houseman offers practical insight that gives parents a lot to consider. You’ll also find the article Technology and Your Family: Establishing Healthy Boundaries, which provides practical guidance for leading your kids well. Lastly, we’re including a video, Growing Up in a p*** Culture, that shares eye-opening research presented at a conference, Amber attended, on how inappropriate content is being pushed toward children and the long-term emotional impact this can have if safeguards aren’t in place. This is an intense topic, but one we believe parents need to be aware of.
