Technology can be both a blessing and a challenge. In this episode, you’ll hear from educator and award-winning content creator Leticia Barr. Leticia and host Christine Koh talk about keeping up with social media, balancing screen time, and the ever popular question, "how do I know when my child is ready for a phone?"

Become An Askable Parent is a podcast from AMAZE.org. AMAZE creates free educational videos + resources to help families talk openly, honestly, and less awkwardly about sex, health, relationships + growing up. The goal of the podcast is to help parents learn how to communicate better (even when they don’t have all the answers!) so their kids know that they can ask them anything.
