Mindful Mama: Raising Kind, Confident Kids Without Losing Your Cool | Parenting Strategies For Big Emotions & More First Phone - Catherine Pearlman [367]
Cellphones have become a fact of life, with children as young as eight (yes, eight!) getting their very own “devices.” In this episode, I talk to Catherine Pearlman—licensed clinical social worker and parenting expert—about her book, First Phone. I love this book! In it, she speaks directly to eight- to twelve-year-old children about digital safety in a manner that is playful, engaging, and age-appropriate.
