#013 - In this episode, Kerry Galagher from Connect Safely, joins us to talk about cell phones for our kids. One of the biggest questions parents have about cell phone use is specifically "when is the right time to give my child a cell phone?"  There are lots of great tips we uncovered in this episode and you’ll want to listen right to the end to find out when to give your child a phone, how-to guide them with this new responsibility, and how to deal with various issues that may come out of having this new freedom and responsibility. About the Growing Up With Tech Podcast:Hosted by Lowell Brown, each week we discuss topics related to the impact of technology on our kids as they grow up. There are so many ways technology is a part of our everyday lives. From cyber safety and social media to tech products and educational tools our kids' experience, learn and become creative with. We cover all that, and more, on The Growing Up with Tech show.Show Links:ConnectSafely Guide to Parental Controls - https://www.connectsafely.org/controls/Harvard Graduate School of Education Article featuring Kerry: When to Give Your Child a Smartphone - https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/uk/18/02/when-give-your-child-smartphoneConnectSafely QuickGuides - Short, Printable, Postable https://www.connectsafely.org/quickguides/ConnectSafely Educator Guides - https://www.connectsafely.org/educatorguides/ConnectSafely Parent Guides - https://www.connectsafely.org/parentguides/Connecct with Kerry Gallagher:Email: kerryhawk02@gmail.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/KerryHawk02Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerryhawk02/Support the show
