Creating a Media Safe Home


Part of the "HomeWord" Series


The question is not how to prevent the influence of the internet on kids' lives but how to harness this ever-present force for good. In this fast-paced practical session, parents come up to speed on how to minimize risks, maximize benefits and set strong boundaries around the media in their homes!

Subscribers Only:   This Broadcast Is Available on DVD for $19.95.


Believe it or not, parents aren't so worried about television anymore.

The average American kid now spends 12-14 hours a week online.

According to Dr. Jim Burns, the biggest worry for most parents today is the quality and quantity of their kids' involvement with the internet.

In fact, technology is one of the strongest influencers that kids face, and many parents feel ill-equipped to understand the dynamics of Creating a Media Safe Home.

Jim returns to CCN with his guest, Roger Marsh, to help parents become pro-active and realistic about the powerful influence of the internet and its importance to kids today.

"Technology is very trustworthy to kids... it's always available to them... it's where their friends are", says Roger Marsh, author of Internet Protect Your Kids.

In this highly practical session, Dr. Jim Burns helps parents establish healthy boundaries and contracts which can channel their family's media habits in positive directions.

Jim will remind parents that technology is never neutral. Technology can put to good use; however, left unchecked, it can become tremendously harmful.

You'll hear straight talk about:

  • The pros and cons of social networking sites
  • Text messaging boundaries
  • The problem of pornography and sexual predators
  • Online bullying

Parents will receive a positive step-by-step approach to technology that guards their kids' lives, hearts and minds.

The internet is here to stay. Make it a force for good in your community!
