Juli notes most parenting friction centers on phone usage, yet they're not pulling phones back from their older teens. How do you navigate showing grace while maintaining conviction?

I find grandparents are not getting on board with this and its hard to get them to listen about something they know very little about

This is the most down to earth conversation I have heard regarding phone with teen kids. Thanks for that.

I’ve come to the exact same conclusion. No phones till 16

Thank you for the episode! So important for every parent with teens to listen, unfortunately so many parents just buy kids phones with 24/7 internet access not even double thinking if my child really needs this and all the negativity that comes with it! <br><br>And thank you for your honesty!

This is so good. 100% agree. We have 6 kids and unfortunately our oldest, who is 18 now, was our guinea pig (for lack of better words). We quickly realized that the longer we can put off cell phones, the better. We did get a home phone which has been very nostalgic and fun for everyone! Looking into smart watches MAYBE (Gabb watches have super basic functions) for our two 13 yrs olds and 12 yr old.
