Screening Screen Time: MDC 13




Screening Screen Time 

   How much screen time should kids have? When should you give your kids their own smart devices? Should kids have smart devices at all? We tackle all these ideas this week. Plus fun stories from our childhood. In our WTF Moments this week we've got our boys "just being boys."


*This article was ironically discovered AFTER recording this episode*   

Recent research has determined that the ideal minimum age for giving kids a smart phone is between 12-14 years old. Although every child is different and may be able to handle the responsibility at different ages, the consensus is "the older the better."

#Parenting: MDC 12




#Parenting


     This week we talk about how to be a perfect parent. (Spoilers: there's no such thing.) Parenting as "Millennials," and where we fall on the generational parenting spectrum. We cover spanking, chores, allowance, and the value of teaching hard work. Plus Adam's hiccups, and ReAnna gets thrown under the bus in the WTF Moment.
