“Dear Parents and Teachers,” Friend, May 2014, back cover
Dear Parents and Teachers,
How can we help children navigate a technology-filled world? See the topic “Media” in the column below to find stories and activities from this month’s Friend to help your family make wise media decisions. If you’re looking for uplifting media for your little ones, check out the videos section of friend.lds.org for new music videos of the sharing time songs.
Happy viewing!
