95. Our Rules for Kids & Phones

<p>"Do you let your kids have phones? If so, how do you protect your kids and what kinds of apps or parental controls do you have in place?"</p> <p>I get some kind of variation on this question multiple times every week. Since this topic is one that really depends so much on the family and the situation and each individual child, I was hesitant to share what we do at our house. However, after we continued to get so many questions on this, Jesse and I decided to delve into this topic on this week's episode of <em>The Crystal Paine Show</em>.</p> <p>We share the guidelines we have, why we have them, and some thoughts on when we choose to give our kids phones and what the stipulations are for having a phone at our house.</p> <p>We also share a recipe we've been loving, a funny anecdote about why we got 3 or 4 crockpots as wedding gifts, and what Jesse and I are reading right now.<br /> <iframe style="border: none;" src= "//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/16108949/height/90/theme/legacy/thumbnail/yes/direction/backward/" width="100%" height="90" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen= "allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <h3><strong>In This Episode: </strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[01:32] Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are saving my life</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[02:31] Our crockpot is saving Jesse’s life.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[04:32] Why I've been using the <a href="https://crystalpaine.com/eatathome/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Eat at Home menu plan</a> this week.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[06:30] How we ended up with multiple crock pots as wedding gifts.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[08:08] Learn what Jesse and I have been reading. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[10:37] Why we have to refill our cup with more than just rest. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[13:06] Our rules for kids and phones… but first, a caveat.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[14:23] Out
