5. Safe and Healthy Smartphone Use For Kids and Teens


Listen Later

Set your child or teen up for success by teaching them to use smartphones safely and wisely.

In today's episode, I do a deep dive into the topic of kids and smartphones.

Last episode, I talked in general terms about the pros and cons of kids and tech devices – including educating you on the reason why kids get addicted to tech devices and what you can do about it – but this episode is going to really provide knowledge on the best practices for safe and healthy smartphones use.

I'll also answer some of the most common questions that I get from parents in my private practice about kids and smartphones:

  • When is my child old enough for their own smartphone?
  • How can I help my child to have a life outside of their smartphone?
  • How do I set limits with the smartphone?

I've also created an updated contract between parent and child for the smartphone. You can get that free resource by clicking here: https://www.modernparentingsolutions.org/episode5/
