First book(let) in this series I’ve read. Really practical and scripture saturated. Would be a great resource to buy and have at a resource center for churches to give away. It’s not strict rules and regulations, but it is biblical wisdom in an approachable way.

Practical and mindset changing.

Excellent brief resource by Eliza Huie is a must-read for parents of teens. Huie frames the book with seven tips of things not to do as a parent of teens and then in each chapter provides encouragement of what to do.
Her seven tips are:
1) Don’t overreact;
2) Don’t preach or lecture;
3) Don’t disconnect;
4) Don’t think, “Not my kid”;
5) Don’t avoid discussing the changes they are experiencing;
6) Don’t underestimate the role you play in your teen’s life;
7) Don’t send teens the wrong messages about sex.
Huie’s advice is winsome, thoughtful, and practical.
Perhaps one of the greatest temptations for parents is to overreact. Huie cautions, that overreaction, however, “inhibits continual communication.” When Huie tells us to not preach or lecture, she reminds us that, “By listening more, and talking less, you actually gain a greater voice into their heart.”
Huie helps us understand the changes our teens go through. Quoting Dr. Frances Jensen, “The most important thing to remember is that the teenage brain is ‘seeing’ these hormones for the first time. Because of this, the brain hasn’t figured out how to modulate the body’s response to this new influx of chemicals.”
When Huie reminds us of our role, she quotes Ted Tripp who says, “In the years from infancy to adulthood, your authority diminishes, but your influence should increase.”
This slim book is well worth your time. If you are a parent of a teen or pre-teen, I encourage you to benefit from Huie’s wisdom in Raising Teens in a Hyper-Sexualized World.

Raising Kids in a Screen-Saturated World by: Eliza Huie
Non-Fiction / Christian Literature (Paper)
This is a tiny book which is a part of a large series called “Raising Kids,”by Crossway Books within world of biblical counselors. I did not find it to be entirely helpful on the very specific topic of “Screen-saturation” or media use for kids. They created a very pertinent questions for parents to consider, but did not proceed to answer it very well as specifically as they asked it. The answer they gave had no errors in it by itself—essentially stating that our homes need to be places for open and honest conversation and grounded in an individual and group need for God’s grace and forgiveness—but did not answer any specific “how to’s” with the unique pressures and relational-changing machines of social media. They provided what I believe is, in fact, the answer to every question. So yes and amen, and, uh, ya! See ya later.

Fantastic resource for parents! Short but chock full of helpful tips and questions! The last few pages with questions to ask your child based on age and a list of other books and articles on the topic is also gold! I highly highly recommend this little book!

Useful short and practical book to make us think about how we use our screens and how to use them wisely.

Simple, clear, concise, to the point. Very short read, but challenging and convicting, as well as encouraging. The reminder to be a humble parent was such a great point.

very helpful, thoughtful short book that keeps the main Gospel principles the main thing. a balanced, beginning to the conversation of purposeful parenting kids in the area of connected device usage.

This book is the perfect introductory book into this topic. It’s short and quick to read. There are several ideas that she introduces that I had never thought about before, like asking your kids how they feel when they see us using devices.
