You know our rules as we parent can only go so far I mean you can set up rules it's good to have them

but they're not going to change your child's heart the way God can. Now that's a principle that you can apply to the

technology use that your son or daughter has and you'll hear more today. I'm John Fuller

here along with our vice president of parenting

Dr. Danny Huerta and let's go ahead and hear now from Jody Burnt. She's

written and spoken a great deal on the topic of praying for your child and here she is with Jim Daly

addressing how to pray for your kids when it comes to technology.

Jody, welcome back to Focus on the family.

Thank you so much.

So fun to keep talking.

So good to see you.

When we think about praying for our children,

one of the big concerns for parents,

and I've experienced this, is kind of the explosion of technology.

One, it keeps us so busy and distracted.

And then of course, it's simply the influence of all of it.

Your children, they're grown now, but how much did tech affect your

parenting and how did you pray for your kids to either manage it well or what did you do?

Yeah, well you've just hit on one of the reasons we wanted to update this book because when I wrote the book 20 years ago

kids in technology basically came down to something that was new called MySpace. You know, there was no Facebook, no Instagram, no texting,

no Snapchat's, none of all these things.

It's amazing to think there once was a time.
