Summary/Abstract: The Christian family is nowadays confronted with an avalanche of information provided by the digital media. In order to walk on a healthy developmental path, the preschooler needs a calm environment to live in and two parents that love each other. Digital technology raises a great deal of challenges for the adults. They are forced to search for the latest information related to the effects of digital media on their children. Self-discipline has become mandatory for a today’s parent. Children learn from their parents how to behave in the family and within society. Emotional development is connected with the adults’ ability to love them unconditionally. A Christian parent is called to be extremely vigilant. The power of bad influence that the media has on children’s thoughts cannot be neglected. It also affects their attention and capacity to learn. Teaching children how to limit their use of technology constitutes a step in the development of their will. Protecting their minds from ugly thoughts is a task that parents are supposed to carry out during early childhood. The Christian teaching about watchfulness is the starting point of this educational endeavor.
