Smartphones, video streaming, and gaming dominate the lives of our children and families. In this 5-part video series, discover how moms and dads can find healthy boundaries for tech and bonding moments when the devices are off.
In the first episode, Jim Daly and author Jonathan McKee discuss how more parents and teens are admitting that they are addicted to their smartphones — and how it’s causing a big unintended consequence.
1.What do we think about phone usage? As a family, do we use our phones too much or just about right?
2. When and where do you think you spend the most time on your phone? Why do you think you use your phone most often then and there?
3. When are some times in the day where we can make a “no-technology” time? In light of Colossians 3:17 how is our time spent to glorify God?
4. How can we use our phones to the greatest advantage as a family?
Katharine Hill explores the impact of devices and the digital age on teenagers and younger children, giving practical advice on screen time, social media, and consumer culture as well as how to tackle some of the more serious issues such as cyberbullying, grooming and pornography.
