A thousand screens are competing for your kid’s heart. And you’re afraid you can’t compete. You can.

You can build something the algorithm can’t touch.

Written from experience growing up inside the entertainment industry and in the screening rooms where the attention machine was built, Robby Baehr pairs an insider's eye with Scripture and what studies keep finding: the strongest protection a child can have is not a filter. It's a discerning heart. And training hearts is what ordinary, faithful families do best.

The Discerning Family offers Christian parents practical ways to help children think carefully about the stories, screens, and messages shaping their lives. Inside, you’ll find:

• Three questions to start meaningful conversations about movies, games, and social media.

• Guidance for smartphone decisions, gaming, bedtime boundaries, and family viewing.

• Age-by-age approaches to media habits, alongside rhythms of rest and connection.

• A family media agreement you can adapt for your own household.

For parents, grandparents, and those supporting families, this is an invitation to practice discernment together in the ordinary moments of daily life.

ROBBY BAEHR is CEO of Movieguide®, the family guide to movies and entertainment.

Robby and his wife stay entertained in Southern California raising a houseful of five exceptional kids and a handful of dogs.
