Electronic use is nearly impossible to avoid. Here are some tips to help you navigate electronics use in your family.

Practical Guidelines for Electronics Use - Thriving Kids Connection Technology has changed us all. Much of it is good and helpful, but as children are learning to use electronics they need a lot of oversight and guidance. Many dangerous challenges face children and young people today, so parents must be vigilant.

As Easter approaches questions about life and death give parents an opportunity to share the Gospel with their kids. Check out this resource from Focus on the Family to help you guide your child on their spiritual journey.

Leading Your Child to Christ - Focus on the Family Leading your child to christ and promoting spiritual growth.

If someone has ever told you, “It’s just a phase,” chances are it was intended as a consolation or a word of encouragement. More than likely, what they meant was: “Don’t worry. You can survive this. It won’t last forever.”

Yes, moments of total survival mode are real—but a phase isn’t something to wish away or hurry past. Because once it’s over, it’s over.

We only have the opportunity to know our children once as a three-year-old. After 52 short weeks, they turn four. It might mean they finally discover “bulzoder” is actually pronounced “bulldozer.” It might mean you have to start answering some questions you weren’t quite ready for.

Whether your child is a toddler, an elementary-age kid, a middle-schooler, or a high-schooler, they’re in a phase. And the phase won’t last for long.

It’s easy to rush into the phase that should come later. Maybe it’s because we’re ready to watch a new movie, or play a new game, so we stretch the age-limit just a touch. But childhood isn’t meant to be rushed. If we’re always in a hurry to get to the next phase, we can miss what is unique about the phase our kids are currently in.

So, whatever phase your child is in, remember there is something remarkable happening right now. Don’t wish away the moments you have. It’s just a phase . . . don’t miss it. - Kristen Ivy

Check out our PHASE resources in the hallway by the Ridgecrest Room. Don't miss it!
