Partnering with The Family Smartphone Guide
"You wouldn't hand your child the keys to a car without teaching them the rules of the road," says Denommé. The same principle applies to smartphone and social media." This guide empowers parents to take control the moment their child begins using a smartphone. With increasing research highlighting the harmful impacts of smartphones and social media on children's mental and physical health, it's crucial for parents to grasp the landscape, understand the legal risks, and maintain open communication with their children.
