Parenting in a Tech World
7:00pm
In the Commons
(Kids' Small Group meets in the Parlor and MS/HS students meet in Refinery at the same time)
Come get to know some other parents and learn some things about how to raise our kids in this tech-driven society we all live in.
This is a video series we will watch as a group, and there will be some discussion questions (and time for feedback/ conversation as well) each week.
Here is a description of the video series:
Parenting today is like no other time in human history.
Don’t get us wrong – raising a child has always been challenging. But no parent or caregiver (before our generation!) had to navigate the nuances that come with children spending upwards of eight hours online between school, gaming, social media, and just interpersonal communication.
The dangers are countless. So are the opportunities.
Our mission is the educate, empower, and remind you that at the end of the day, we all could use a little grace.
The goal is to raise children who can navigate this world successfully, leave the nest, and actually want to return to spend time with us (willingly) once they are all grown-up.
Will you make mistakes? Will they? Absolutely. Can we all get through this together? 100 percent.
