The Influence of

Video Games

Let’s be diligent with the entertainment our kids take in. Here are resources to turn to next time you’re not sure whether a video game is appropriate.

 

ESRB.org—Every game has to have an ESRB rating. This site gives the rating for a game and the broad reasons for that rat­ing.

 

commonsensemedia.org—This site gives detailed descrip­tions of the content in movies, books, and video games. The site isn’t religious; they’re merely reporting.

 

pluggedin.com—This site provides details about game play and reviews the games from a biblical standpoint.

 

Let’s stay strong—and pay attention to what our kids are paying attention to.

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”—Proverbs 4:23

Family TALK July 20th

Kids and Money

Garage sales were my greatest tools for teaching my children to manage money. I distributed coins to my 7-, 5- and 3-year-old for completing jobs in a timely manner, behaving exceptionally and going beyond what was asked. My financial protégés proudly toted their coins to yard sales in magnetic tins. Enticed by bright colors — and all things plastic — my children learned valuable lessons:
