Good Inside with Dr. Becky

How to Know if Your Kid Is Ready for a Phone


Listen Later

Dr. Becky loves to say if you can't say no to a cupcake then you can't say no to TikTok. And parenting in the age of phones and social media can feel like a lose-lose situation. How do we protect our kids from a very known danger to their mental health without creating social consequences? In this conversation, Dr. Becky and a mom discuss the topic of when to give a kid a phone and how to navigate the challenges and concerns that come with it.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Airbnb: Before Dr. Becky was a parent, she thought planning a family vacation would be a breeze… until she realized how much has to come together for a trip with two adults and three kids. Then she discovered Airbnb Guest Favorites. No more combing through options, reviews, and features. Guest Favorites are the most loved homes on Airbnb according to other guests. And that peace of mind when preparing for a trip is huge. Using Guest Favorites couldn’t be easier: Just go to Airbnb, add your destination, tap the filters and hit the toggle for Guest Favorites. It’s that simple.
