Raising Kids in a 24/7 Digital Media World: The Role of Faith Groups
Youth today live in a 24/7 media world that is evolving at a dizzying pace. Young people’s media experiences, especially their participation on social networking sites and virtual worlds have an enormous impact on the way the way they make decisions, learn, and socialize.
This interactive, multi-media presentation will include an overview of what young people are really doing with media as well as the challenges and opportunities kids’ media use pose for parents and faith communities.
Practical tactics and strategies will also be offered on how faith communities can partner with parents to raise young people who are safe, smart, and responsible media consumers and creators.
