Parenting in a hyper-connected world feels impossible, but it doesn't have to be. In this critical conversation, we welcome Jamie from Screen Sanity to equip parents with the facts and tools they need to protect their children and foster deeper, real-life connection.We tackle difficult topics head-on:Pornography's Pervasiveness: Jamie Gordon shares alarming statistics (25% of all search engine searches are porn!) and provides clear strategies for talking to your kids about accidental exposure, recommending the book "Good Pictures, Bad Pictures."Online Gaming Risks: We discuss the dangers of online gaming with strangers and how to recognize the signs of addictive behavior (behavior changes when asked to get off). Jamie offers the Kami Kanai Game Decision Tree as a helpful visual tool.Battling Big Tech: Understand how social media algorithms are designed to create addiction and what parents can do to counteract this massive, billion-dollar industry.Making Intentional Choices: Learn about the "Create, Connect, Consume" screen time model and explore device alternatives (Gab phones, Gizmo watches, flip phones) to ensure you're giving a device for a reason, not just because "everyone else has one."Screens don't have to ruin your family. It's about being intentional, not eliminating.Screen Sanity Website & Resources: https://screensanity.orgHOW YOU CAN SUPPORT:🔔 LIKE this video and SUBSCRIBE to this channel for more Christ-centric, trauma-informed mental health content!💵 DONATE: We appreciate your donations and partnership.
