Kirk Cameron Talks Social Media Safety

Kirk Cameron Talks Social Media Safety

In a social media-centered world, the smart phone has become a cultural rite of passage for kids. But is that rite all wrong? With six teens, Kirk Cameron fully understands this dilemma and he was inspired to produce a social media documentary. He understands all about how important it is to watch his children actively engage in the internet life.


Social media is not completely bad, but if it is mismanaged, it can cause a lot of conflict with developing young adults. It requires balance, and with raising teenagers, learning that balance is so necessary. So Kirk Cameron’s goal with the launch of this project is to educate parents on the dangers of social media. He wants to encourage them to engage in interaction with their children and establish good communication. He urges parents to stay connected with their kids. And that is why he titled the documentary, "Connect".

Kirk points out a valid fact that parents of the previous generation did not have teenagers who had access to the internet world. So, today’s parents are dealing with something that has not been an issue for a parent before. And through Kirk Cameron’s project, he hopes that parents know that they have support. How do you think this project will help families?
