Protecting my kids from the dangers in the online world is a high priority for me. My son is 13, and I'm still holding off giving him a phone, even though he insists he's the only one in eighth grade who doesn't have one.  (And I want to say here that it's okay if you have a different view on what's best for your child, so no judgment on when you decide to make a phone available to them!!)  When he does get a phone in the next year or two, he will definitely have limits and filters to help him navigate his phone safely. But unfortunately, we all know that even the most adept filters and limits aren't foolproof. In fact, the best internet filter of all will come from Noah! The only way I can fully protect him from online danger is to help him develop his own internal filter.   My guest, Emily Jones, is a writer, speaker, author, and mother of 5. She and her husband Dave co-founded Family Tech University, which is a movement dedicated to helping parents prepare their children for today's tech in new and powerful ways. Emily shares with us today how to help our kids use technology wisely as they develop their own internal filters.

As we start to set boundaries around media, we need to make clear that we love our kids, even when they don't follow the rules we put in place. We don't want them to feel as if a boundary is more important that our relationship with them. There will be consequences, but we need to express our love for them. Parents need to put away their screens around their kids. They need to model what they want their kids to do. It comes down to having intentional family conversations around media and screens. Ask your kids how you are doing as a family with the boundaries.   Get the book Becoming a Screen Savvy Family for a gift of any amount!   Donate Now!   We'd love to hear from you!

Have you felt a bit “in over your head” lately when it comes to leading your family in the realm of technology? Honestly, most of us have no clue how outgunned we are with all the influences that are reaching our children online. We are told by the Bible that our job is to lead, protect, and steer our kids towards Godliness…but that can be so difficult when we don't even know what a tiktok or instagram is. Join Matt and Pastor Adam for a frank and practical discussion on how you can better serve your family in the online age we are living in today and point them to Jesus through all the digital mess.

In a world where technology has become a part of our everyday life, how do we best manage and keep it safe for our kids?

SHOW NOTES Today's Topic: Kids and Technology OVERVIEW: How do parents and leaders navigate the digital world? How can we teach our kids and families how to utilize new technology and new social media platforms in healthy ways? In today's episode we talk about new technology and strategies to help our kids understand the power and influence of technology. When thinking about kids and technology, consider these points: - Younger generations are digital natives – they were born in an era where smartphones are so prevalent and such an integral part of culture and life. - Have open conversations with kids, ask them why social media/technology is important, why we use it and how our family should use it. / o Ask them how it should be used and hold them accountable o Model appropriate phone use o Consider having phone-free zones and explain why it's important to not have devices in these areas - You need to decide as a family what boundaries are necessary, such as supervising devices but don't survey devices. Trust them, but hold them accountable - The boundaries you set depend heavily upon the values you uphold - Be full of grace and love, no matter what your kids do or come across on the internet. - Partner with other parents – you don't have to have all the answers.

Kids and tech -what do we do with it? How much is too much? When do you give your child a phone? Carol, Alicia, and Tricia talk through how they deal with their own kids and technology and tackle the big topic of how much is too much?

Have you noticed there's a lot of talk today about the importance of developing a resilient, “growth” mindset? There's good reason for it as mounting research indicates the potency and efficacy of a strong mindset geared toward persistence, growth, and possibility. But why do so many people fear and avoid failure, when it's one of the most potent learning devices ever devised? In this episode, we talk with mental skills and performance coach Edward Watson about how to cultivate a growth mindset and embrace failure. Also, Mr. Watson will share the perspective he's cultivated about the differences between boys and girls in terms of how they handle stress as derived from the years of work he's done in schools. Finally, he'll discuss the perils of a global society's fixation and over reliance on cell or iphones, and how their use very poorly positions young people entering the workforce.
