The Family Media Guardian

Parents today have a lot of tasks that demand their time — cleaning, cooking, banking, laundry, chauffeuring — the list goes on and on. Yet there’s another critical role crying for attention in many homes: family media guardian.

What does a mom or dad (or both) need to take up this role?

  • A willingness to take time to filter the media that come into their home.
  • An understanding of the values and traditions they want to impart to their kids.
  • A desire to safeguard young hearts and minds from images and voices that threaten those values.
The job may seem overwhelming at first glance. The sheer vastness of the media boggles the mind:Your kids need you to provide guidelines that allow them to learn about life in the manner and pace you set.

— Rhonda Handlon
