Technology: Be Good Parents
Parents today face challenges with technology, and social media in particular, that no previous generations have encountered. Parents want to protect their children, but they also want their children to know how to use technology in a virtuous way. This executive execution course, designed specifically for parents, integrates the spiritual tradition of the Catholic Church and the virtue theory of St. Thomas Aquinas with developments in positive psychology and neuroscience to assist parents in developing the habits in their children of self-control needed to virtuously utilize new technologies, including social media. The capacity for delayed self-gratification will be developed within a context of supernatural reliance upon Christian hope, along with a presentation of the new paradigm of will-power, in accord with the Tradition's emphasis upon virtuous right reason and reliance upon grace for personal sanctification.
