How can we swim upstream?
Upstream
Many experts say our postmodern culture and the advent of smartphones have been responsible for losing an entire generation to immoral, unnatural, illogical, and ungodly attitudes, actions, and addictions. What we need to do as parents from the time our children can talk is to be intentional and aggressive in modeling and teaching our kids how to swim upstream against so many cultural norms. Homeschooling would be preeminent. Also, children can have phones, but not smartphones.
