Apple’s “Ask To Buy”: What Parents Need To Know

Posted on September 30, 2019 by Buddy

Controlling what apps your child uses is an important part of modern parenting. For those families where both parents and kids are using Apple mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, & iPod) Apple has provided a feature called “Ask to Buy”!

Let us take a look at this very useful feature!

Remember:

  • An Apple ID is required for each person you wish to add to “Apple Family” and they must be signed into iCloud and iTunes
  • Have an iOS device with iOS 8 or later, or a Mac computer running YOSEMITE or later.
  • Android or Windows Phone users cannot be part or an Apple family

HELP! My Child Hit A Porn Site! What Do I Do NOW????

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Buddy

Even with the best filters, etc., it is possible that, somehow or somewhere, your child will accidentally hit a porn site.

Sad, but true.

So, WHAT DO YOU DO???

Screaming, panicking, and ranting are not the paths to take.  You don’t want to say/scream things like:

  • “What they (the people in the movie) are doing is WRONG!“
  • “That is NASTY!“
  • “Don’t you EVER watch that kind of stuff, ever!”
  • “That is so SINFUL!“

Fortunately there is a good, systematic approach you can take that fosters an understanding of God’s boundaries and the development of a healthy attitude about God’s design for sex.

So, You Think You Can Trust Your Kids On The Internet?

Posted on June 28, 2009 by Buddy

Updated for 2024

“We don’t need to install filters, we trust our kids.”

“Our kids wouldn’t be interested in that, and know that it is wrong, so we trust them with their computers in their rooms.”

Those are two common sentiments that I encounter as I do seminars on Internet safety around the country.  Sometimes it is voiced by a seminar attendee.  Sometimes by the person on the plane next to me.

I understand their feelings, but I think that they are “trusting” their kids…
in the wrong way!!!

Marriage: God’s Safe Zone

Posted on April 27, 2009 by Buddy

Sex.

It is EVERYWHERE in our society.

No wonder youth and adults, alike, are confused about what is OK, what is sinful.  It is no wonder that many are wounded and crying on the Sexual Battlefield.

It doesn’t help that many elements in our Society continue to attack marriage as unreasonable and unnatural.  Today, sex outside of marriage is common in all types of media, and in real life.

How should we react to this as the people of God?

By teaching a view of marriage that limits sex to marriage, but in a positive way.
