Starting Point Sunday, August 23
At the end of the class, you will have an opportunity to join our church family. Dress is casual and everyone is fed. Childcare is provided for birth-grade 6. Middle and High School students may attend the class with their parents or on their own.
Keeping Kids Safe Online
Some parents will say, “I don’t let my child have a computer or TV in their room but an iPod Touch, iPad or tablet is fine.” If the devise can be connected to Wi-Fi then your child can access any social network.
Start the conversation
Technology today is about connecting to other people in faster, simpler ways. As parents we need to strive to connect and communicate with our children face-to-face and heart-to-hear to help our children use their devices in a safe and responsible manner.
Parent Chat founders Matt McKee and Adam Duckworth will lead this fast-paced two-hour seminar every parent will want to attend.
Just consider the impact social media and the Internet have on our children:
- “38% of kids under 2 years old use smartphones or tablets and 70$ of teens age 13-17 now use smartphones.”
- “80% of parents have no idea how to monitor their kid’s online activities.”
- “46% of teens said they would change their online behavior if they knew their parents were paying attention.”
- Parent Chat is free, but we’d love to know if you are coming. Sign up here. Have a question? Contact Andy Wilbanks, minister to children.
