Catholic Parent Know-How - Internet & Families

Product Description

Modern technology has created a proverbial Medusa's head of innovative communication. You might not give your child her own cell phone, yet, but at least one of her friends has one. You might block all online game playing at home, but you can't sit on your son's shoulder at the library or friends' houses. You might forbid your kids from IMing, but that doesn't mean they won't borrow a friend's cell to text.

That's reality. The good news is that you can teach your kids how to use the technology wisely. You can instruct and advise. You can guide and watch. In short, you can be a parent.

In order to do that, though, you need to understand the technology. That's where this brochure can help. It's not intended to be a comprehensive guide to everything that's out there, but rather a brief introduction to the world our children consider commonplace.

Don't be afraid of this cyberworld. Look at it as a gift that, properly used, can give you amazing tools to help you guide your children into wholesome and holy adulthood.
