For Catholic parents, making decisions about digital media can be hard. Should children be kept away from screens, or can they be taught to properly navigate cyberspace? *Digital Age Family Safety* is here to answer those questions.

### What Is *Digital Age Family Safety* About?

The latest YouTube series from Family Theater Productions (FTP), in partnership with the Daughters of St. Paul -- a ka  the "Media Nuns" -- premiering today, Feb. 17, equips parents and guardians with practical tools for media mindfulness, critical discernment, and protection against dehumanizing content.

Infused with Gospel values, *Digital Age Family Safety *helps to safeguard the home as a space for authentic faith, encounter, and responsibility amid digital immersion.

 

Raising a family in today’s always-connected world can be overwhelming—and that’s exactly why media literacy for families matters more than ever. In this episode of Digital Age Family Safety, we explore how parents can guide children and teens to engage with technology, social media, streaming, and gaming in healthy, thoughtful, and safe ways.

You’ll also discover the mission of the Daughters of Saint Paul and their work educating families, parents, and educators on integrating faith with media literacy. Plus, Sister Nancy shares her Tips For Parents, including co-viewing, co-playing, developing media mindfulness skills, and pausing to pray during difficult media moments.
