He makes some GREAT points in this video. https://youtu.be/A5YCbID8j9E He's a very engaging speaker (lots of F bombs, so you might want to listen to it when the kids aren't around), amazing story, brilliant businessman. I LOVE his points about kids and phones and where the world is going. It's not going back. This is the world they are growing up into. Period. They may as well learn it, because there is a good chance they will be using it to make money, also. I love when he says, "You can walk into a room and see a couple of people looking at their phones and judge it, but it's not changing" Kids use it more for games than anything for a long while and that should have limits. But deciding that their childhoods should be filled with the same things ours were, is just a weird judgment we have because it's so different.

Or you can give him the phone just on weekends.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081907612343459794noreply@blogger.com
