157. START HERE: Building Tech Trust

Is your child trustworthy with tech?I’m not asking “Is your kid a ‘good’ kid?”, because saying your child isn’t ready for the weight of tech isn’t about being good or bad, it’s about being physically, emotionally, and spiritually prepared. My 3 year old is immature in all three areas, but she’s an amazing kid. For a 3 year old.Similarly, I’ve taught some incredible middle school students—who did their work and were great friends—that I would never trust with a lighter. I’m 100% sure some of them would start a fire if I left them alone for more than five minutes. It’s the same idea with tech. Your child is wonderful. This tech is fun and amazing. But are the two a good fit, in this season, based on what you’ve seen and know so far? Answering that is simple, but not easy:Check for trustworthiness in the little things (Luke 16:10)Build trust in little stepsIn today’s conversation we’ll talk about how to assess, and build, tech trust with your child.Show Notes: http://bit.ly/3DcOr1W
