Parenting In Times of Technology Perils It's hard enough to parent properly these days without all the pitfalls that technology offers children. Pornography's everywhere; social media sells rot; movies offer violence as amusement; and the entire world of gaming seems focused on turning children into badly behaving monsters who wallow in gore and bloodshed. What's a parent to do in these tough times? Well, for one: Exercise some parental controls. Parents aren't helpless and should remind their children regularly who's really in control of the household -- including when, how long and whether kids have access to technology. But also: Parents can take advantage of the growing list of family friendly and faith based movies and entertainment that are surging of late.
