We all agree that raising kids is not for the faint of heart. Though one of the most fulfilling things we do in our lives, it is also one of the most challenging and exhausting. We are called upon by the Lord to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). But the world we live in makes it a great challenge as there are so many things coming at our children from many different directions, and we need to be diligent if we are going to offer them a measure of protection.
One of the areas that comes at us fast and furious is all the content available for our children on the television. It used to be that parents could have relative confidence that certain channels could be trusted to give wholesome and age-appropriate content to their children. Not so much any more. A faithful parent has to be diligent and continually keep an eye on what our children’s eyes are seeing.
I found another good article that gave some practical suggestions on how parents can tackle this task. I will link it here.
I hope you have found this helpful. Maybe you have some other tips you would like to share with parents, ways that you have found to be more diligent in overseeing your child’s television intake. Please feel free to add ideas in the comments below.
