People seem to be more comfortable sharing on social media than they do with casual in-person relationships with neighbors and co-workers. I seem to miss out on certain happenings because I chose not to be on FB.
We all fail and so do our kids, especially the ones that go to the universities.
We do our best and our kids learn a lot from us, but the real world can eat them alive.
That is where family bible reading and prayer make a big difference, especially when you can relate it to the real world, concern for others and how to protect yourself from false friends. We don't use social media as they are false friends, real friends visit.
When we obey God and they see it works for us then they tend to follow.
We need to remember that parents are not put to death for the sins of their children and vice versa.
Hezekiah had a bad father (Ahaz) and his son Manasseh was even worse. He was good until he became strong and then he became proud. Pride comes before a fall.
Our parenting gifts are from God and we have nothing to boast about.
I'm torn on this one. I could be one of those 'performative' parents because I try to post a photo, most days, that capture something mundanely fun / quirky about the family. My bias is I'm not posting their tantrums or their foibles all the time, but then again, most people never did that even in albums. Where I think it becomes essential for my kids to learn about PRISM and others is when THEY start posting. They don't have the same expereince or cognitive level at that age and that's where the risk comes in.
It’s the identity theft stuff I worry about for mine. When I had it happen, I went over everything he needed to know with him to hopefully prevent it from happening to him. Even at 30 “They don't have the same expereince or cognitive level” to know what to do! Mine has never had a social media account, he’s never had the time for it and he was worried employers would find fault somehow.
I’ve got some awesome tantrum photos in an album. Terrible 2’s they were called then. I wanted to remember everything!
