| Do you ever feel like your child's cell phone, game console, or computer has taken over your home? These devices can be wonderful tools for communication, learning, and healthy enjoyment, but they can also become dark and destructive without the necessary parental supervision and limits.
Although the basics of parenting remain the same, issues involving technology have left many parents wondering what limits are appropriate, how to hold their children accountable for misuse of technology, and how to help kids learn the decision-making skills required to make healthy technology choices when they leave home.
There’s good news! Even though these modern issues are very challenging, we can achieve success by applying some age-old parenting truths:
- Focus mostly on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.
- Kids need limits.
- Limits are best set through actions instead of hollow threats.
- When kids make poor decisions, they need to experience natural or logical consequences.
- Consequences are always more effective when provided with loving empathy.
- Our kids will learn how to live their lives by watching us.
Remember to register today and we'll show you how to handle their digital behavior—without creating massive power struggles and rebellion.
