Podcasts about tech savvy parenting

Our digital world can be complicated, frustrating, and even incredibly dangerous. But one thing is certain: it's not going away anytime soon. The constant innovation, proliferation, and saturation of technology in the lives of our kids and teens is why ministry leaders must know how to better lead and equip parents to navigate this ever-changing space. On this episode of the M2P podcast, the team is joined by our friend and parent ministry expert, Brian Housman, to discuss some of the specific issues that arise in parents navigating technology alongside their kids and teenagers. Brian is an influential voice in helping ministry leaders and parents discern how to guide their kids and teens to have a good perspective and healthy habits. He has traveled the world to teach and equip families since 1993 and currently serves as the Director of 360Family in Memphis, TN. Brian is also the founder of Screen Smarts, which is a revolutionary tool designed to help encourage and equip parents each week in just six minutes. Brian is a prolific writer for parenting magazines, most notably Parenting Teenagers, Homeschooling Today, and Parent Life. He has written four books: How You Always Meant to Parent, Engaging Your Teen's World, Tech Savvy Parenting, and Raising Responsible Teens in a Digital World. Brian has been featured as a “parenting expert” (whatever that is) on more than sixty radio shows and TV programs, including FOX, ABC, and NBC affiliates. You can keep up with Brian and all he has going on through Instagram (@brianhousman) or Twitter (@BWHousman).

In this episode, we are thrilled to speak with Michael Perry, entrepreneur, devoted father of two young boys, and creator of a family organizational app called Maple. Michael speaks to us about his journey of building Maple, an app designed to help parents manage their busy lives more effectively. Michael opens up about the challenges of balancing entrepreneurship and parenthood and how fatherhood completely transformed his sense of purpose. We discuss the overwhelming nature of parenting, which stems from the increasing demands of modern life and the lack of organizational tools catered specifically to parents. Throughout the conversation, Michael emphasizes the importance of taking care of ourselves and finding a balance between work, family, and personal well-being. Join us for an inspiring and candid conversation about parenting, entrepreneurship, and the quest for a better family-life balance!

What can we do to protect our kids in social media.  Be intentional with social media.  If your child or kids are on social media then you need to be on the same account.  It’ not just about accountability but it’s to show them that you and your kids are going to be doing life together even online. The first people they should be connected with is you as a father as a parent. Staggering numbers to really get your attention as a parent.  The information offered on the Men Unplugged show from Brian Housman are to give you the resources and encouragement to protect your kids on social media as a dad as a parent especially for those with pre-teens and teenagers (teens and tweens). Tip, allow some time for your kids to unplug from those digital devices.  Kids today feel pressured to be plugged in all the time. Technology has allowed our children to develop double lives.
