I’ve been doing lots of radio interviews the last few weeks with the launch of my new book, Parenting Generation Screen. Today Focus on the Family had me on their broadcast, and they posted a nice video of the interview on their YouTube channel…a really fun conversation about what we can actually do (…and not do) to help our kids learn to make wise screen choices. They titled the interview: Understanding Your Teen’s Digital World.
Here’s the YouTube video (CLICK HERE if you don’t see the video in your browser)
I think the part parents might need to hear the most is when I say this:
Some of the biggest questions in life are who is God and who am I. Almost every issue a kid is dealing with falls in between those two questions. If we can start talking about who God is and their identity in Christ, and have those conversations with them regularly… then when they’re looking at Tik Tok and feeling, “I don’t have enough followers,” they’re going to have that foundation of the Word of God that their identity is built on.
