Today, we’re talking about how to help our kids make wise and safe choices on social media, the Internet, and gaming apps. START Co-Founder and Executive Director Tracy Foster joins Robrenna today, and together they talk through how to engage with our kids in conversation about technology.

Topics Discussed in this Episode:
•How parents can feel competent and confident in awkward conversations about technology
•Why the generations before us really can’t help us navigate this new frontier like we wish they could (and what we can do about it)
•The #1 question Tracy gets: “How do I juggle this world where I can’t get away from screens?”
•Keeping your kids safe, sane, and relationally seen in the virtual world
•Why the question of quality screen time matters more than quantity of screen time (creating, connecting and consuming)
•Having a “Define the Relationship” conversation with your kids about how they want you to interact with them on social media

Things will get better because God is in control. Even if you are having a hard time finding anything to be thankful for, you can be thankful for God. He is our Almighty, Wonderful God and He is also our dearly loved friend.
