Plugged-In Parenting comes at a time when parents find themselves between a rock and a hard place. They want to protect their children from the increasingly violent and sexualized content of movies, TV, the Internet, and music as well as cyberbullying and obsessive cell phone texting. But they fear that simply “laying down the law” will alienate their kids. Can parents stay connected to the media while staying connected to God and to each other? This book makes a powerful case for teaching kids media discernment, but doesn’t stop there. It shows how to use teachable moments, evidence from research and pop culture, Scripture, questions, parental example, and a written family entertainment constitution to uphold biblical standards without damaging the parent-child relationship. Bob Waliszewski is one of the foremost experts in the world on creating a media safe home. This is a must read for any parent who wants to help their kids navigate the ever changing culture and thrive. Plugged in Parenting is filled with practical insight and years of wisdom. This book could be the most important investment you can make in the lives of your kids. -- Jim Burns, President, HomeWord, and Author of Teenology: The Art of Raising Great Teenagers
