The technological revolution has improved the world in many ways. With the advent of the internet, people can access information and communicate with people all over the world in the blink of an eye. Although new technologies can be used to share and inform, more often than not they are used for entertainment.
Getting you child motivated to learn can be difficulty, especially when you have to compete with TV, computers and video games. Instead of fighting these sources, why not use the technology to your advantage? There are many educational computer games on the market that teach children while still being entertaining. Now your kids can play video games and learn simultaneously!
As I walk around in the stores and in public places it seems to me I am seeing more items ranging from T-shirts to fridge packs of soda pop that have evil looking designs and characters. The underlying purpose of this is something I do not even want to think about.
It is becoming more evident that we must carefully monitor what we see, hear and allow to come into our hearts, spirits, and homes. Educating our children with clean-cut materials, computer games and books must remain paramount in our minds as we select learning tools to bring into our homes.
There are still manufactures who are producing educational toys for boys and girls that teach the morals we want instilled into our children to help them learn and develop into the young adults Christ would have them be.
I’m glad there are products on the market such as Journeys of Paul, Hermie and Friends, Veggie Tales board games and Charlie Church Mouse and Exodus computer games. Granted, these games probably won’t be found in your local stores but your children are worth the effort to search for clean-cut, morally uplifting, Bible teaching games.
