The Smartphone Ate My Family – Interview with Phillip Telfer

from Generations Radio · host Kevin Swanson

Smartphones are disrupting kids' relationships, depersonalizing sexuality, drawing away their affections, and influencing their beliefs – but we can't very well ask our elders how they dealt with these problems in their day. Kevin talks with Phillip Telfer, author of "Help! The Smartphone Ate My Family" about surviving the digital age as a parent. They discuss the importance of guardrails, rules, awareness, conversations, and escape routes…and the methods Phillip himself has used to keep his kids safe.
