Continuing with my recent posts concerning media and the home,
Here are some more pieces from an article from
Plugged In Online that speak about setting family standards concerning media.
 clipped from Why not sit down with each of your children and engage them in discussions about their favorite media? Don't just ask the above questions, but go a step further and find out why. If you're doing this for the first time—especially with older children—refrain from jumping in and playing judge and jury. Listen, listen and listen some more. There will be a time to offer your views, but not during this exploratory stage. Once you've prayerfully settled on an appropriate balance between shielding your teens from mainstream entertainment and discussing it with them, articulate that decision in writing. Develop the equivalent of a "family constitution" as it relates to entertainment habits in your home. |
