GEMs of Wisdom from “Screens & Teens” by Sean Donohue, Family Coach and Teen Esteem Speaker:
Thank you, Sean! Here are the GEMs of Wisdom from the important night:
HORRIFYING AND HELPFUL.
It was harsh reality followed by encouragement.
Moms, never feel irrelevant. Instead of fearing social media, enter the realm and use your strength and wisdom to teach and disciple.
Kids' apps reveal things about them and their social media can help us better understand them.
Let's be as relational as possible, responding rather than reacting.
Have your teen show you something funny from social media to get things rolling.
And to get more comfortable asking great questions (beyond "How was your day?")
For help navigating a variety of scenarios, ask a mom who attended GEM!
