160. START HERE: Smartphones

Today we're getting to the bottom of smartphones, and we're doing it quickly.My hope for this episode, and for this podcast in general, is to give more than just "good" answers when it comes to tech. My goal is to point you as a parent toward hope.So, does your child need a smartphone? No.But if you stop there, you might get the right answer and miss the real point: an opportunity to parent and love your child where they are!So listen to today's conversation, we'll talk through five reason smartphones are a net-loss for children under 16, and we'll also talk through what it looks like to prepare your child for a tech world.
