#520: The Impact of Smartphones on Our Children
About this episode
Mark Groves discusses the negative impact of smartphones and social media on children, particularly focusing on their mental health and development.
In this episode, I have an honest conversation about something that I think every parent needs to hear right now. What are we actually signing our kids up for when we hand them a smartphone?
