FAMILY TALK April 12

View this email in your browser

Did you know?

  • Most kids are first exposed to porn at less than 11 years of age?
  • An unsolicited image is the beginning of a long battle with porn addiction?
  • 1 in 5 children ages 10-17 have been approached for sex online?
  • 57% of kids have accidentally accessed inappropriate material online?
  • 75% of these young people do not tell their parents about these incidents?
  • The porn industry is now the 7th largest industry in the U.S.?
  • Unprotected Internet access can lead to identity theft, cyberbullying, and social network dangers?

What happens in the privacy of a cell phone or computer can affect everyone in the family.

Young children are not generally malicious, but they are curious and are trusting. Kids innocently and easily get into trouble online without awareness of the consequences. They need protection from others and themselves.

Because forgiveness is an abstract concept, it's important to model it for kids of all ages. When you mess up, let your kids see you apologize. Be specific about what you're apologizing for, and ask for forgiveness. When young children do something wrong, offer hugs and say, "I love you, and I forgive you." Learn to apologize together by practicing it with your kids. Help your kids learn to say they're sorry through nonverbal means (drawing a picture or giving a hug).

During family prayers, practice saying, "I'm sorry." Admit to Jesus that you've all made mistakes and are sorry; then ask for forgiveness together. Try these fun activities to emphasize the freedom that comes with forgiveness.

SUMMER OUTREACH-lets work together to reach others

"How often do you say, "I love you!" to your children? Maybe it was just this morning, part of the farewell you tossed out as someone left the house. However it happens, you recognize that these words are not the only evidence of your love. Kids understand love when proclamation is backed by demonstration — your ability to meet them in the areas where they are struggling or need comfort, your capacity to offer the time they crave with you.

We understand love through action. Thankfully, God isn't just about talk. He lovingly provides for our needs and lends us His wisdom and direction every day. But the real evidence came at Calvary when God laid everything on the line to demonstrate His love. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8)".  - Thriving Family.com -
