Summertime can mean more cellphone time for kids, and that can mean more anxiety, depression, and emotional distress.
In this episode, Heather shares four strategies for how to set up kids for success with their phones during the summer. She shares the four-part RAPS system:
Relationships — Discover your teens' love language and speak it to them.
Awareness — Create an open dialogue about cellphone use.
Protection — Set up guardrails to make it not so hard.
Sustaining — Keep this process alive by modeling it yourself and repeating it.
Be sure to view the accompanying Summer Phone Strategy blog for a video on how to set up the Screen Time settings on iPhones and Android phones to protect your kids.
