Al Mohler on Children and Technology November 30, 2007
Posted by Joe in : General Lessons, Links , trackbackErin,
First, I want to commend you once again for doing such a wonderful job of posting each week. Your diligence is a consistent encouragement to me. Today won’t be a long post for me, but I thought it would at least be good to get the habit going once again.
Al Mohler writes about the way in which younger children are demanding technological gadgets for Christmas. And demand is indeed a good word. Note the way in which some of the parent’s quoted feel helpless in the face of their children’s demands. What will become of the next generation?
Also, note the way in which this article reinforces our conviction regarding toys and a very limited exposure to television and movies. I am so thankful for being pointed to the various books and resources that led us to make such a decision. Let’s strive to be diligent to provide contexts for them to truly be at play. For that is what children really want and need. Computers games, on the whole, simply do not count. They also fail to bring parents the joy of seeing their children make up their own games and toys. It really is great isn’t it?
Thankful for creative play,
Joe
