In today's day and age, children and teens are surrounded on all sides by popular culture through incessant streams of social media on their cell phones, televisions, and computers. The constant presence of social media in your child's daily life can influence and define their attitudes and behaviors. As parents and role models for the millennial generation, how do we overcome the moral relativism that saturates our culture to help our children put their faith into action and live out the values and virtues embodied in Jesus Christ? Marybeth Hicks shows Christian families how through \"teachable moments.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese teachable moments might be as simple as incorporating empathy and compassion in early friendships, or as complex as understanding the subtleties of our culture's potentially destructive messages about human sexuality. They might present themselves in song lyrics, teacher's comments, television shows, social media interactions, and current events. Teachable moments can emerge in parenting decisions, family relationships, school situations, and in opportunities for freedom and responsibility as our children engage with the world around them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough\u003ci\u003e Teachable Moments \u003c\/i\u003eMarybeth Hicks has created \"a parent's field guide to navigate a challenging culture\" (Dr. Michele Borba).
