MARCH 6 to GOOD FRIDAY
A digital fast is an intentional break from digital devices + media to remove distractions. This can create space for meaningful, spiritually renewing practices. The goal is not to ditch all tech, but to turn down the noise & hurry so we can reconnect with what matters most.
Four rich devotional options available Feb 22nd and March 1st. As we journey toward the love of the Cross and Risen power!
KIDS RECOMMENDATIONS (for parents)
Nursery (6 weeks through 3 years) During the first years of life, children’s brains develop through face-to-face interaction, sensory play and responsive caregiving. Research suggests that children at this age benefit most from face-to-face interaction, play and responsive caregiving.
Preschool (3-5 years) Preschoolers learn best through play, storytelling and hands-on experiences. Some families choose to include limited, high-quality screen use when paired with adult engagement, while also being mindful of how screens can affect attention and sleep.
Kindergarten-3rd grade As kids begin school, screens often increase through both learning and entertainment. When screens take up a large part of the day, they can unintentionally reduce time for sleep, outdoor play and family connection.
4th-5th grade Older elementary students are preparing for adolescence. This season offers a meaningful opportunity to talk about intentional screen use, emotional awareness and values-based decision-making as children grow.
Throughout our Digital Detox, Students could use physical journals and activities as a replacement for phone usage. Students can utilize “Wreck This Journal” or devotionals that can help them view technology in a healthier way.
