How do we keep them safe? How do we navigate OUR OWN relationship with it? This week I'm joined by Kelly McCullough, LCSW, child and adolescent therapist, and founder of La Jolla Therapy Center, to move past the all-or-nothing panic and into something more livable. We get honest about \"chasing presence\" as parents, why our teens are actually wired to crave connection, and what the research says about the sweet spot between zero access and unrestricted access. Kelly brings the tangible, concrete guidance parents are hungry for — and we both admit how messy this is to actually pull off in real life. Whether you've got littles, teens, or you're just navigating your own relationship with your phone, there's something here for you. In this episode, we get into: Why so many of us are \"chasing presence\" — and how our phones keep us stuck in the chase Why the teenage pull toward peers is healthy, not a red flag What emerging research says about zero access vs. unrestricted access Kelly's tangible guidelines How to lay the foundation early with younger kids The loneliness epidemic Connect with Kelly Kelly McCullough is a child and adolescent therapist and the founder of La Jolla Therapy Center in San Diego, a practice devoted through and through to kids and teens.
