Making Wise Media Choices Together (a printable)

Hi Mamas!

We hope your week is off to a great start. It's Monday and I'm sure you all hit the ground running this morning!

With media everywhere around us (TV, movies, radio, social media), I know we often find ourselves scrambling for the remote as the pot of spaghetti over boils because our 4 year old changed the channel to something we wish he didn't see.  I even remember arguing with my mom when I was little about shows that she thought were appropriate vs. shows I wanted to watch.  Now that social media is so prevalent, as well, discussing some guidelines and family decisions might help us to all be on the same page about what we watch on TV, movies and decisions for social media.  Even if our kiddos are too young for Facebook and Instagram, this can be a great way for us to get on the same page as our husbands/the village that helps us raise our babies.

I came across this printable and thought it would be something to print off and use with our families.  It could invite a discussion with our older children about role models and why we want to strive to watch wholesome things.

I hope you all find some time to relax this week and maybe even sneak in a family show to watch together.
