Do you know what your kids are watching?

In this generation, technology is the number one source for all children and youth entertainment. There are thousands of different shows, movies and games that our children play that we may not know of or realize contain inappropriate material.

Young children are generally incapable of looking after themselves, and incompetent in making informed decisions for their own well-being. Plus, these shows are made to brainwash our kids and desensitize them from certain concepts.

Disney recently promised to make 50% of their characters homosexual by the end of 2022. We have already seen this happen and our kids are quickly getting confused in this matter due to the incessant exposure everywhere. 

There are many ways that we can change what our children are watching and turn it into an educational purpose within Islamically and academically.

Here are a few Islamic resources that our children can watch!
