Parent Seminar: Smartphone Parenting
Navigating Today’s Digital World with Your Kids
Smartphones. Social media. Screen time. Boundaries.
Parenting has never been simple — and in today’s digital world, it can feel overwhelming. When is the right age to give your child a phone? How much screen time is appropriate? What apps should concern us? How do we protect our kids without isolating them from the world they live in?
Join us for this two-part parenting seminar designed to equip you with practical, research-based, and biblically grounded wisdom for raising kids in a screen-saturated culture.
This won’t just be a lecture. Each session will include guided small group discussion and interactive dialogue, giving you the opportunity to process what you’re learning, ask questions, and hear from other parents walking through similar challenges.
