How To Restrict Phone Usage With Your Kids
What do you do if you have a child whose phone usage is out of control, changing his or her moods, and causing constant conflict in your home? It often feels like you are held hostage to this technology, this device, and you can’t quite figure out what to do. Kirk lays out very important principles and actual scripts you can use.
If you want me to help walk you through an intervention for your child or family, schedule calls with me and we will brainstorm together.
