How much TV do you watch as a family?  Do you have movie nights with the kids?

I know it’s not always easy to agree on good movies with your teenager.  But make an effort to watch things with them.  Not for your own entertainment …but to give you a front row seat to hear what their world is like.  And you can talk about the movie as the credits roll.  Kick around the moral issues featured in the film.  Lob open-ended questions about whether or not your kids would act, choose or say the same things as the main character.

Here’s an opportunity for you, mom and dad, to connect with your teen, spend time together, and help your child become morally discerning and media- literate!
