Help your child navigate the distraction of screens and keep their focus on Jesus! The Story Emma usually loves her Saturday visits to her grandparents' house, an oasis of comfort filled with cookies and laughter. But this Saturday is different. Clutching a tablet, Emma is more interested in her favorite show than in spending time with the people she loves. As she mimics the sassy attitude of the characters she’s watching, Grandpa Bob and Grandma realize that Emma’s heart is being steered in the wrong direction. Sitting on the garden swing, Grandpa Bob shares a timeless lesson: just like riding a bike, if we stare at the obstacles and distractions, we will crash into them. To keep from crashing in life, we must keep our eyes on the Lord.
