74. Teens and Phones

In today's episode, I invited Bill Brady, father of 5 and founder of Troomi Wireless to discuss all things technology and teens. We talk about: How to introduce devices in a safe and age-appropriate way. The obvious and not-so-obvious harmful effects of phone usage. Why denying access to a phone won't work in the long run, and what you can do instead. Whether hounding to get a phone has just begun, or your teen has had a phone for years, this episode is a must-listen. About Bill: Since 2018, he has focused on providing children with healthier solutions for using technology. Most recently, Bill co-founded Troomi Wireless, a mobile phone company designed for children, and serves as the company's CEO. Through his work in the industry, Bill has become an expert in helping families navigate the myriad challenges associated with kids and tech. In addition to providing quality hardware and phone service priced for kids, Troomi is unique for its KidSmart OS®, an operating system that enables parents to graduate kids from one level of functionality to the next based on their needs and maturity. Put simply, Troomi is designed to grow with children and prepare them for the future.
