39. So You Already Gave Your Child a Smartphone...What Now?

Many parents we speak with talk about feeling trapped in the smartphone conversation. They're concerned about problems a smartphone may cause,  or  even see the it causing issues with focus, behavior, and relationships, but they've already given them a smart phone. Now what?We tackle this tough conversation with a focus on the hope we have in Christ, not the fear of what could go wrong with tech.Then we walk through practical steps on what it looks like to act on hope, not fear, in situations we know are potentially dangerous and unhealthy.A few other resources:Last week's episode (hope > fear -- Accountability vs. Control): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s-3-ep-8-re-establishing-tech-boundaries-accountability/id1498508882?i=1000495377769Our previous discussion on why your child doesn't need a smartphone: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gospel-tech/id1498508882?i=1000484865287Want help making a family tech framework?
