Talking to your kids about pop culture

How do you deal with popular culture in your home?

Do you all rush to watch the new series of Agents of Shield? Do you anticipate the reset of Minecraft? When Peppa is a bit rude to her parents, do you point it out?

Do you love listening to the creative lyrics in Hamilton with your teens, or ban it because of the explicit language in some songs? Do you comment when the heroine is always stunning, skinny and kick-fighting impossibly in heels? What about when the hero saves the day by laying down his life for others?

In essence—how equipped do you feel as a parent with connecting popular culture to Christ?

If you are like Ted Turnau, you'll find it tricky at times.

Ted Turnau, co-author of the book: The Pop Culture Parent  will speak at this event with an approach that will help you out.

While also approaching parenting in general, he specifically focusses on how to interact with popular culture, teaching kids to do so with appreciation and an awareness of the good, yet aware of the idols within.

Bring your own lunch plus a little to share! The talk is for people who want to talk to children about popular culture - youth leaders, teachers, parents, grandparents. You are welcome to bring your children along, but there is no childcare provided. There will be some Lego!
