1. Dads, we must help our kids grow up.
We must balance letting go while at the same time helping them not grow up too fast.
“Look, this place can bring out the worst in some people”
Yesss (speaking of the internet)
Your responsibility to keep your kids safe trumps their desire for privacy!
Parental controls protect your kids from being lured astray, from harm, from getting lost!

2. Dads, we are the examples.
Ralph was a horrible example! He wasn’t thinking of what he was teaching by his actions.
We are the example from which they will most learn about:
- Honesty
- Apologies & making things right
- Always learning & growing
- Connecting
- Evangelism
- Bible
- Prayer
- Faith
They were so focused on what they wanted, what they just had to have, they almost missed what they needed!
