No smart phone until my child can pay for it themselves, we already keep the computer in the common area. So dumb phone until they get a smart job.
Us too.
Wow! Its the first time i watch something with so many tools.ive bien looking for content like this. Thank you so much. Feeling bless.🙏🏽
I try to get across to my boys that the internet can be useful but is also a dangerous placusage. They aren't allowed to randomly search the internet or TH-cam, they need to come to us first and ask about what they want to search and why. We monitor their tablet useage. We put a time limit on video games. On Tuesdays and Thursdays is no electronics day for the whole family. We try to keep an open dialog with them about screen useage.
Edit: we have a no screens in the bedrooms, no tv/tablet/phones.
Im so glad i watched this. So profound, thank you.
Such a great topic that the world needs to know
You're part of a reason why my marriage ended!
Listening to your family advice and implementing your ideas in the relationship to reunite that spark. Which caused the ex to demand to go out drinking every weekend with friends, and when she didn't get her way, she complained of how I was a bad person to her mom. Than the in-law pursueded her daughter to cheat and caused a divorce. My situation with a person could've gone two different ways depending on where their faith rested, but I chose to temporary respond like the book of Job with my loss, and let justice prevail. That is when my freedom of relgion was violated, and endorsed by the state. To the point where judiciary respondents ignored their own oaths and state statutes to act biased towards a parent seeking biblical counsel for their scripted requirements; and the barr association denied my Right, while allowing falsified documents into court procedures.
I sure hope your teen doesn't go through that abuse of power!!!
We're very sorry to hear about your divorce, Troy.

I didn't get a phone until I was 18. And even then I didn't want it. My mom wanted me to have it because she had been in a car accident and didn't have a phone and the other person did and tried to blame her.
I delayed giving my teen a phone until 17y of age but found that she had bought a simcard and carried it around and would 'borrow' others' phones to insert her simcard and get around her parents' restrictions.
