Parents should be on Alert Part 1

In light of our upcoming conference I am going to give you a sneak peek of some of the things we will be covering. So here is a 5 part series, one point each day over the next week 

 

1. The Saturation of Media and Technology

Most of our children don’t know of a pre-iPhone world. And while this comes with advantages, it comes with even more concerns. Never before have kids spent as much time in front of screens or had as much access to the entire world at their fingertips. The average time on the phone for a teenager is 9 hours a day… what the Phone?

Let me read you something: Dancing in the Dark

AUTHOR:Schultze, Anker, Bratt, Romanowski, Worst, Zuidervaart, p.51

From the 1950's to the present, the media have continuously reformulated the youth culture according to the latest trends in clothing, language, leisure activities, technology, and especially electronic media consumption, which has added to its own influence. The entertainment industry has attempted to read the tea leaves of social and cultural change in order to capitalize on the hungers and discontents of youth. Its sense of nascent trends has dictated its investment in a potential box-office smash, a promising radio format, a likely high-rated broadcast or cable-TV show, and a probable gold recording. In the dynamic interplay between the entertainment industry and youth, the media have learned how to appeal to young consumers, and in turn, American youth have learned how to live a hyped-up, Hollywood version of teen life.

This is talking about the 1950’s on up… not just today! 

 

It’s ultimately about owning your kids so they can make money off of them. But in the meantime… these dangers persist… actually are rampant due to the media’s influence. So what are the consequences? 

 

 

The threats created range from (here are 4) 

laziness - I don’t have to study I can google, I don’t have to work I can just build a social media following, I don’t have to go to my friends I can just face time them, 

Did you know that teenagers today are only as active as those over 65…. Hello? That is not a compliment. 

And now we have renamed it… its not called lazy…It is now called a physical dysfunction… no you are just lazy. 

 

Obesity, - Our nation is sick for one major reason. We eat too much. PERIOD. More than any other symptom of technology is that it makes us sedentary… We lack movement and we overeat. Put the phones down and run. There was a father I read about who had his kids earn electricity to charge their phones by riding on a bike… a little extreme, but not a bad idea. Let me shoot straight - your kid is fat and getting fatter!

 

Worldview implications - I never heard of being Gay until I was in Middle school. And even then I never had to choose or even think about wether I was gay or not until someone challenged my beliefs in College. Today kids at the age of 5 are being TOLD they are gay, lesbian, transgender, bi…. our God view is challenged daily by the worldview media shoves down our throat. How many parents were not ready for the conversation about sex… but now its about sex with the same sex, or even being nonsexual, binary etc…

 

Low self-esteem.

Look your kid already has a hard time fitting in and feeling like they are good enough. It is all a part of normal adolescent development and Even if you are an amazing parent and you love your kid emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually- they are still being told everyday they do not measure up. Media tells your kids how bad they are or how great they are… Jesus simply tells them who they are. 

look girls have it the hardest, they are told to be sweet, kind, hot, sexy, smart, athletic, innocent, worldly… Did you know A psychological study in 1995 found that three minutes spent looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of girls to feel depressed, guilty, and shameful. What do you think those numbers are today in light of that little phone in your daughters hands.
