We live in a digital age, and at some point, our children will have access to phones, but it is our responsibility as parents to balance the benefits and risks of phone use. I welcome Bill Brady, who is the CEO and Co-founder of Troomi Wireless, a mobile phone platform designed to improve kids’ mental health through a safe and balanced relationship with technology.

We discuss:

• The benefits and risks of allowing our child to have a phone for use
• Is there a magical age at which they should be allowed a phone?
• How to create healthy boundaries with access to a phone and safety and other activities
