About this episode

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore how parents can delay phone access without leaving kids unprepared for the technology filled world around them. They discuss building gratitude, discernment, real conversation skills, and other-centeredness during the phone free years, while also recognizing the genuine social pressure kids can feel when friends communicate primarily through devices. Parents will be encouraged to keep evaluating their decisions and gradually introduce technology in ways that strengthen character and real relationships.
