In this episode, Christine interviews Julianna Miner about her new book, "Raising A Screen-Smart Kid: Embrace the Good and Avoid the Bad in the Digital Age." Christine and Julianna talk about how to decide when to get your kid a phone, kids and digital affirmation, modeling good tech behavior, teaching kids social skills, identifying digital addiction, and understanding digital mentorship.
