As a parent (and therapist) you may be asking: When is the right time to give my child a smartphone? With peer pressure mounting, friends getting phones younger and younger, and “everyone else has it” dynamics swirling, it can feel like you’re constantly behind the curve. But as a therapist working with kids, teens and neuro-divergent young people, I want to help you make a decision based on readiness, not just age or external pressure.
Parenting is a beautiful, messy journey filled with joy, challenges, and countless learning opportunities for both you and your child. One of the most important skills children develop in early childhood is the ability to manage their emotions, also known as self-regulation. But before kids can self-regulate on their own, they first learn how through co-regulation. That’s where parents come in. Regulation skills are preventive tools that reduce the risk of mental health and behavioral issues and behavioral issues and increase social relationships and resilience.
There’s parenting, and then there’s parenting in the digital age.
We’re the first generation raising children who’ve never known life without smartphones, group chats, YouTube, and AI. If you’ve ever watched your tween scrolling and wondered, “Is this normal?” or “What is this app?” you’re not alone.
Today Dr. Cory is joined by Kaliq Alexander from the Rainbow Collective for Change. They discuss the Rainbow Collective’s mission and how you can help your child to recognize the diversity in the world.
