Unfortunately this simple question doesn’t have a simple answer. 

In this episode Billy and Joy discussed the critical milestones your kids should reach before getting a phone and the markers you’ll need to notice and, as necessary, discuss with your kids during the Pre-Phone Season. 

Now it’s time for you to have your own discussion. These questions should get you started!

TALK ABOUT THIS:

• How digitally mature are your kids?
• What conversations do you need to initiate with your kids?
• What have been your biggest takeaways through this podcast series? 
• What changes or additions do you want to make? 
• What other adults are you having this conversation with on a regular basis?
