Remembering What Matters Most: A Call To Courage For Parents Ready To Take A Stand For Childhood In

Are You Called To Protect Your Children's Childhood While Living According To What Matters Most To You?

We're in the midst of an unprecedented and far-reaching experiment on childhood in The Age of Technology that is changing what our children value, how they socialize, how they feel about themselves, and so much more.

In this call to courage, parents are supported in raising their children based on what they value most, the needs of the present moment, and what it is that is essential to childhood. Taken together, these principles serve as a foundation from which parents are able to decide, with clarity and intention, how, when and where the technologies are allowed into their child's life.

This deeply experiential book encourages parents to tap into timeless truths about the sacredness of our homes and the real needs of children while challenging the modern day notion that the technologies must play a central role in childhood.

Remembering What Matters Most invites parents to embrace uncertainty, question easy answers, and be wary of quick fixes; opting instead for a long-term perspective that spans the lifetime of their child while developing the foresight to decide whether a machine or a parent will be in charge of a human life.
