With the ease of access to media of all kinds via internet-connected devices, it can be overwhelming as a parent to try and keep up. Here are a few suggestions to help you keep your kids a little safer. Pay attention. Know where your kids are, who they are spending time with, and what they are doing together. Just knowing you're paying attention can often dissuade kids from acting out when they're tempted. Have conversations. Be a sounding board for your kids. Listen more than you talk. Let them know they can come to you with any problem, and they won't be judged or condemned. Talk openly about things like unholy content and why it can be so enticing and harmful. It's important to maintain your authority, but you can do so in a way that encourages open communication and trust rather than secrecy. Use technology to your advantage. Tech is often the problem, but it can also be the solution.
