Smartphones are not smart enough to protect your children.

Grown Up Toys

Are you?

Grown Up Toys

Would you let your 13-year-old child hang out all day and all night with pimps, perverts, prostitutes, and pornographers? Would you invite those same people into your home, much less into the privacy of your child’s bedroom? Or would you let your kids walk the streets of the sleaziest side of town, alone, at 3 o’clock in the morning?

Giving your kids unlimited and unsupervised access to smartphones is in many ways worse than everything I have just mentioned. Because I think Playboy, Penthouse, or Hustler magazines, the icons of sleaze in past generations, don’t even scratch the surface of what our kids can freely view and engage in on the internet today. Smartphones are for adults and carry with them adult responsibilities.

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
