Raising Screen Time Kids: Biblical Principles for Parenting in a Device-Saturated World

Welcome to a guilt-free approach to one of the most consuming parts of our life.

Have you ever handed your child a screen so you could get through a conversation with an adult? Do you send your kids to play games on a device when you need to snatch a few minutes of peace for yourself? If so, does that make you a bad parent? How much screen time is too much for your child?

As parents in the twenty-first century, we are facing a challenge none of the generations that came before us had: we are being forced to navigate through a world full of phones, tablets, computers, TVs, and gaming devices. Screens can be great—but they can also be bad, and sometimes they are downright dangerous for our kids (and ourselves!). Today’s parents are full of questions, but we must find the answers to this challenge on our own.

In Raising Screen Time Kids, biblical counselor and pastor Josh Weidmann—who has six kids of his own—sets out to help us discover scriptural answers for those questions. This is not just a book of “don’ts” and “stop doing thats,” but one that gives practical advice for finding moderation in all things, as well as how to use screens to help us disciple our kids.
