Instead of continually confronting your child about your concerns, try asking God to give you the right opportunity to talk with your child about any concerns you may have. Remember that nothing of eternal value is ever accomplished without prayer. Establish your limits. While you are praying for your children for the next 30 days, discuss with your spouse some suitable entertainment limits for your home. The average child will test his parents limits and if those limits vary from day to day, it becomes very confusing to the child.
Confusion leads to anger and anger to fights and fights to rebellion.
Your goal in establishing limits is to give your child a sense of security through a consistent understanding of what is acceptable in your home. You must be specific with children. Evaluate your own entertainment. It is not helpful to keep your child from listening to the empty philosophies of most secular music and television programs, if you re going to entertain yourself with the empty philosophies of R-rated videos. And it s not only videos.
