Should your child get a smartphone? Dr. Roger Smith doesn't offer a simple yes or no, but instead provides crucial questions to help you make this difficult decision. This episode guides you to think about your child's long-term functional needs and whether those needs can be met without a smartphone. Most importantly, you'll learn to evaluate your child's capacity for self-imposed limits and the vital role of parental support systems in navigating the challenges of modern technology.
