Social media is bombarding children with cultural confusion, predatory behaviors, and peer pressure. Here's the truth: Children have access to technology and platforms they aren’t mentally prepared for, and they need their parents to help them stay safe. The co-founder of Parents Who Fight, Sarah Siegand, joins Pastor Allen on this podcast to talk about this issue. She encourages parents to delay addictive technology for the sake of their children's emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. "We feel like 16 is the minimum age that you should consider adding social media into their lives. I think we probably remember that old saying, 'Which is stronger the flesh or the spirit?' The answer is the one you feed the most. If you want your kids to be spiritually strong, you have to give them time to grow into that," Sarah advised. Sarah and her husband, Jesse, started Parents Who Fight in 2015 so they could spread awareness about the online dangers children are exposed to every day. Listen and learn about what’s happening online, and find steps you can take to protect the children.
Parents can find more information and tools to help them navigate the online world with their children during our new Fall Learning Series. @Sarah Siegand will be speaking at two seminars, and she’ll also lead a 4-week class.
