Children are a Gift

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2021/11/25

On this thanksgiving day, I want to tell you about a moment when I felt incredible gratitude towards God. It was on a cold December night way back in 1983. That was the night when the first of our four children was born. First and foremost, I was incredibly grateful for my wife as I watched her endure the pains and work of childbirth. It was beyond impressive. And second, I was filled with overwhelming joy and thanks giving as I laid eyes on my first child for the very first time. I couldn’t sleep

Pro-Ana TikTok Videos

It has been said that you can find anything on the internet. The reality is that all of us – young and old alike – are able to find and engage with everything from the good, to the bad and the ugly. A quick scan of tiktok, that video sharing social media platform popular among our kids, yields a surprising number of pro-anorexia hashtags that lead to videos which have been viewed by billions of young viewers. As if our kids don’t already face enough body image pressure to pursue unreasonable body

Building Resiliency in Kids

2021/11/23

Do you remember your own middle school years? For most of us, it was brutal. Some things never change. Young peers can create, find, and point out all kinds of negative things in ways that are now sometimes defined as “bullying” or “harassment.” But if your home is place of refuge from that craziness, you will be instilling a healthy sense of resiliency that can sustain your kids through the pressure. One way to do this is to take the opposite approach of their peers. . . who are all too quick to

Delaying Social Media Use

2021/11/22

Parents often tell me about the social media and smartphone dilemma they face with their kids. “I don’t want them to be online and getting in trouble,” they say. “But I also don’t want them feeling left out from what all of their peers are doing and experiencing online.” If I may, allow me to give you permission to make a decision that might not only be unpopular with your kids, but which might feel like a decision to undermine their status among their peers. Recent college grad Theresa Olohan wrote

Loving Neighbor

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2021/11/19

Think about the familiar parable of the Good Samaritan. Jesus told that story so that His followers would know that they should view anyone in need as a neighbor. He told about a Samaritan who gave everything in response to a wounded man’s need, and then instructed us to “go and do the same.” But here’s the rub for those of us who live in today’s world, including our kids. The message we’re encouraged to believe and follow is the exact opposite. Instead of looking out for others, we’re to look out

Online Predators

2021/11/18

Earlier this fall, a story making headlines in Louisville, Kentucky should cause us all to wake up and pay attention to the dark side of our online social-media-saturated world. In an effort to find friendship and affirmation, our kids are prone to reinvent themselves by fabricating an online persona that isn’t even close to who they really are. At times, they will lie about their age when engaging with others online, pretending to be older than they really are. That’s what happened when a fourteen

No More Bullpen

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2021/11/17

Last month, as baseball’s world series was unfolding, the folks at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced a campaign to change the long-standing name of baseball’s bull-pen to the arm-pen. They’re reasoning, the name bull-pen is insensitive to the bovine population as it refers to the holding pens where cows are kept before slaughter. In baseball, a team’s relief pitchers stay in the bullpen as they wait to be called into a game. Now you might shake your head in disbelief at PETA’s

Devious Licks Challenge

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2021/11/16

When I was high school, I remember the administration locking all the student bathrooms in an effort to get kids to stop smoking in school. It made for some interesting and difficult days. Recently, school administrators across the country have had to lockdown school bathrooms for a different reason. This time, the problem is disappearing mirrors, soap dispensers, towel holders, and even toilets as students engage in the latest TikTok challenge known as the devious licks challenge. To meet the

TikTok Tics

2021/11/15

Perhaps like me, you are scratching your head over the recent news reports about teenage girls who suddenly develop tics, jerking movements, and verbal outburst, which are usually symptoms of Tourette’s syndrome. As the story has unfolded, health care professionals report the common thread of these girls watching TikTok videos featuring social media influencers who actually have Tourettes. Movement disorders specialist Dr. Caroline Olvera believes this is a case of a mass sociogenic illness which

Screens, Exercise and Childhood Health

2021/11/12

Sometimes research will confirm what our intuition has already told us. That’s certainly the case when it comes to kids and obesity. Researchers have been warning us for years that a child’s heavy use of digital media is associated with the risk of being overweight later in adolescence. We’ve also learned that increased and regular physical activity gets kids off their chairs, on their feet, and moving around, which protects children from weight gain both now and in later adolescence. A recent study

Parents, Do You Believe The Bible?

Youth Culture Today with Walt Mueller ·

2021/11/11

In our rapidly changing world, it is essential that Christians tether themselves to the unchanging Word of God. We must teach our children to do the same. Listen to these words from theologian J.I. Packer: “We have to choose whether we will accept the biblical doctrine of Scripture as it stands, or permit ourselves to refashion it according to our fancy. We have to choose whether to embrace the delusion that human creatures are competent to judge and find fault with the words of their Creator, or
