Episode Details

I have several friends who are teachers, and it's amazing how drastically things have changed in the last 10 years. When my oldest was tiny, there were a few friends who could afford to have an iPad for their kid, but generally, they were like computers. For adults, but occasionally, kids had them. It was still surprising to see kids on an iPad at restaurants. Now, even young kids have their own iPads, and elementary kids have smartphones. We allowed our son to join a construction day camp this summer, and I was shocked when my son came home talking about all the kids his age sitting around between turns and on the bus playing games on their phones.

I really appreciate how Greta has thought through the challenges this new normal brings and how parents can handle it with wisdom and grace. Greta is a homeschool mom and a very popular homeschool conference speaker. I can't wait to tap into her wisdom today! 

I don't want to be one of those people that rails against technological change and social media. Each development provides new ways of showing wisdom. What unique challenges have you seen while raising kids both before and after the evolution of smartphones?

I know every family is going to feel differently about how they choose to use technology, but we can be inspired by the choices other people make. What have been your family's boundaries around phone usage?
