Beyond the Screen: Raising Children With Wisdom, Connection, and Purpose

What happens when the world shaping our children is one that parents themselves are still learning to navigate? In this episode of The Story Seat, Rev. Dr. Robin Blair shares stories and lessons from more than 40 years of working with children, families, faith communities, and media.From phones and social media to gaming and streaming, we explore the deeper questions beneath screen time—how digital culture shapes identity, emotional wellbeing, values, faith, and family connection. Robin shares her perspective on finding healthy boundaries without fear, building trust without losing guidance, and helping children develop wisdom and resilience in a world competing constantly for their attention. At its heart, this is a conversation about parenting, presence, and the kind of people we are helping our children become.
