Show notes:

Regularly, I hear from moms who are trying to navigate this digital age with their kids. And what I often hear is a sense of hopelessness and regret. But Jenna Kruse offers hope and encouragement by giving you a balanced approach, practical steps, and biblical wisdom for this all-consuming area of parenting school-aged kids. If you haven’t listened to Part One, do that first, and then join me back here for Part 2 of my conversation with Jenna Kruse

We discuss:

• The two extremes of approaching tech with kids. The two versions of hopelessness moms feel while facing this situation 
• The Bible verse God gave Jenna to parent in the digital age
• The regret that parents feel because they have tried so hard and their kids are still exposed to dangerous and inappropriate content 
• Mentor over monitor 
• The hilarious way Jenna tested her internet filter 
• Why filtering apps are not enough and how to teach your child to have a moral filter
• How to be the Ninja of Hard Conversations 
• The driver’s ed approach 
• Practical steps to protect your kids with a balanced approach 
• Bible verses to encourage you and your kids
