Screenagers

Oh, and so much for an economic crisis - when even older teenagers spend more time with media each week than their parents do at work, it seems we just might have a ready-solution to many family financial problems. Cut down on the cell phone, internet and cable TV bills and then put those kids to work to help make ends meet. Novel approach, eh? 

Seriously, what is a parent to do? Set limits. Engage in conversation. Stop being too lazy or too busy or too whatever and interact with those precious children God gave you. 

The subject of media obsession by our screenagers is truly one that rankles me, because the solutions are easy for any parent who cares enough to be involved with their children.  That's why I've spent years and much energy researching the subject and compiling action steps you can take to reclaim your home. You can find them in my latest book, 30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family. You can also receive tips each week, for free, on how to build a stronger relationship with your children, grow their faith in God, and equip them to tower above the pop media culture.
