In our society, we’ve already established that video games or screen time of any kind can be addictive, especially to the adolescent. When it comes to video games and screen time, it’s important that alongside allowing them age-appropriate indulgences, we also teach them the importance of self-control. And it’s our job to help them navigate through, not keep them from the difficulties life will bring.
They WILL experience hardships and might become addicted to things.
They WILL be exposed to inappropriate content.
On one hand, I want my children to learn how to have an imagination of their own, read books, play with toys, interact with friends, and one another, but on the other hand, it becomes legalistic to keep them from anything and everything technology.Īfter all, the whole purpose of this blog is to teach your children how to THRIVE in the world they are growing up in, which means teaching them how to have self-control and guard their minds when it comes to using screens.Īs parents, we can do anything and everything to protect them from the dangers of this world, but you and I both know, this is not sustainable. I’ve struggled to learn the balance in parenting when it comes to screen time, whether that’s watching movies and shows, being on a device, or playing video games.
