Second, don t turn your kids into easy targets by allowing them to have a TV in their room. Statistics show that over two-thirds of teens in America have a television in their bedroom. I don't understand how loving parents can allow the televised teacher and box of electronic temptation in their children's room and think it has no influence on them. Third, let's model healthy, responsible, and Godly television viewing habits of our own. Too often I talk to parents at my seminars who think it is fine to watch sexually suggestive shows while expecting their children to do otherwise.
Children are great detectors of hypocrisy.
Nothing is a more powerful teacher than the presence of a positive and Godly parental example. And finally, let s be parents of prayer. I pray on a regular basis that God will protect the minds of my boys both in the area of media as well as what they are hearing when they are out of my presence. God cares deeply about what our kids are facing. Only He can be with them at all times.
