Talking to kids about TV and screentime

Screen watching of some sort is a big part of many of our children’s and young people’s lives. Helping them meet and know God happens in the normal, everyday bits of life and that can absolutely include what they watch and how we talk about it.

In this pop up small group, we talked to TV presenter and actress Joanna Adeyinka-Burford about how we can use the key tools to have great conversations with our kids about screen time.
