Host Erin Prather Stafford and her guest Dr. Catherine Pearlman discuss a question all parents and caregivers must face: When should I give my child their first phone?
Dr. Pearlman is the author of First Phone: A Child's Guide to Digital Responsibility, Safety, and Etiquette.
Her mission is to help parents enjoy their parenting more and to build stronger relationships between parent and child. To that end, Dr. Pearlman advises on all parenting matters, such as digital education for kids, potty and sleep training, discipline, food issues, sibling rivalry, and kindness.
She is a licensed clinical social worker who started The Family Coach to help moms and dads with typical parenting issues. In addition to First Phone, she is also the author of Ignore It!: How Selectively Looking the Other Way Can Decrease Behavioral Problems and Increase Parenting Satisfaction.
