Summary

We’re moving from the first season of our podcast, where we asked, “Are We Doing Tech Right?” to a new title: Doing Tech Right. This episode marks a fresh chapter, with a deeper focus on actionable advice and tips that make parenting and educating with technology easier. Navigating First Devices: Phones, Tablets, and Timing Larry Magid, CEO of ConnectSafely, is joined by our education director, Kerry Gallagher. They dive into the big question: When is the right time to get your child their first device, and how can you help them stay safe while building those critical thinking skills that will last a lifetime?
