RAISING FAITHFUL FAMILIES IN THE DIGITAL AGE (excerpt from Catholic Herald Magazine) Parenting and living in a family in the digital age is challenging “as the technological advances we experience are constantly evolving,” says Lisa Hendey, who travels throughout the United States and internationally giving workshops on faith, family and Catholic new media topics. Speaking with Catholic Herald magazine recently, she discussed raising faithful families in the digital age, parenting of children with technology, and how people can prosper in their own spiritual lives. She offers these practical tips to parents: 1. Technology usage should be a privilege for children, not a basic “right.” Technology is a valuable learning tool, “but children should demonstrate a maturity level that demonstrates their spiritual, emotional and intellectual readiness to employ these tools prior to having access to technology,” she notes. “Access to the Internet and good technology is a fundamental educational right, but I don’t think having an iPhone at age 5 is a right.” 2. Parents need to model appropriate technology use for their children. For example, a parent should never text while driving, avoid using technology during family meals and act responsibly on social media. “Our actions speak louder than words with our use of technology tools,” she says. 3. Parents should have standards, strategies and rules for device and platform usage. “In our family, we limited the use of technology in the private areas of the home,” she notes. “When they were young, our children (now ages 26 and 2 had a ‘no screens in the bedroom’ rule and devices were used in common areas of the home with screens facing outward. Your rules will vary from mine, but you should put thought and responsibility into this aspect of your parenting.” 4. Parents should act with respect for the privacy and safety of their children when using social media. “We are establishing a ‘digital footprint’ for our children, in many cases even prior to their birth,” Lisa notes. “We must supervise their use of technology, but we should also respect their privacy in our own usage.” 5. Just in the same way parents would not send a child out to drive a car without proper instruction, they should not provide them with access to technology without education and spiritual formation. “The legal and spiritual ramifications of the ‘digital footprint’ can have a devastating impact on children,” she says. “We live in a culture that glorifies selfies and use of social media. I’m a fan of teens using Instagram to tell the story of their life and faith and teens can use these tools with great impact to share with others. But they can also put them in some very dangerous situations, so parents constantly being on top of social media use is important.” 6. Parents should conduct regular, random checks on their children’s technology tools. They need to use the many available resources to be aware of questionable apps, platforms and media providers.
