There are three necessary steps in teaching discernment to children:

Parents must teach children a Christian worldview and inform them about other worldviews and philosophies in the context of reinforcing Christian Theism.
Parents must prepare children to think about and reject the subtle messages of the media.
Parents must teach children and model a godly disciplined lifestyle.

The church must battle the prevalent secular mindset and worldview by training students to think and live biblically.
