(ZENIT News / Hollywood, 03.29.2026).- Many worry about safety for their children online. Family Theater Productions and the Daughters of St. Paul (aka the “Media Nuns”) have a solution — a YouTube series to help and guide, called Digital Age Family Safety.

Its short videos are designed to help busy Catholic parents better navigate the digital world without fear.

Family Theater Productions’ National Director, Reverend David L. Guffey, C.S.C. said about the series: “A child holding a phone, iPad, or computer, holds a potential doorway to knowledge, education, and fun. But without vigilant care, that doorway may bring vulgarity, violence, and things children are not prepared for. Our new series helps parents get the most from technology for their families, with best practices to protect them from harm.”

Sr. Usselmann commented: «The Digital Age Family Safety YouTube series offers essential guidance for Catholic families navigating the digital world, which profoundly shapes knowledge, relationships, and culture. This timely resource equips parents and guardians with practical tools for media mindfulness, critical discernment, and protection against dehumanizing content. Infused with Gospel values, the series helps to safeguard the home as a space for authentic faith, encounter, and responsibility amid digital immersion.»

Producer Jay Cooney concludes: “With Sr. Nancy Usselmann’s expert advice on media literacy, this series is great for parents and caregivers who want to combine faith, mindfulness, and discernment with their family’s use of media and technology in the digital age.”
