Here is the link to the phone agreement we discussed in the episode→ messengerinternational.org/at...
Do smart parents let their kids have smartphones? And if so, when?
Many parents feel overwhelmed by the challenges that come with navigating the digital world with their kids. There’s so much pressure to protect them, but often, they are unsure how, or even if, that’s possible. How do you go beyond rules that restrict and find ways to truly teach and empower your kids to make wise decisions?
Perhaps no issue brings all of these challenges to the forefront as much as smartphones.
This week on At Home with the Beveres, we invited our two oldest kids Asher and Sophie to join us, and we’re tackling the phone issue head on.
Tune in for some practical tools to help your family thrive in the digital age!

Life was so much easier when there was no internet and smart phones. But that train has left the station. This is a good idea to discuss phone use with our kids.

Your children are so blessed to have parents so intentional in their parenting. Keeping the conversation open between you all is so wonderful. Keep up the great work!

I love that you’re talking about this. I got my oldest daughter a phone at 13 and we completely locked it down. Locking it down was a big frustration for her and as she got older, we unlocked it and then just put restrictions and time limits on everything. She still says that she feels like we got her a phone too early Our next daughter got her phone at 15. The way we did social media was they first have an account through my phone for at least the first year. That way I can see everything that’s going on. And they have to ask for my phone to look at it lol I think that worked out great and they seemed very happy with that, my daughter didn’t get Instagram on her own phone until she was 17.

I have two young boys, these videos are SUCH a blessing as we navigate parenting. I love the honesty of your son! It shows you’ve given him a son-ship mindset. He knows he’s loved, you’re on his team, and he knows you want the best for him.

Thank you, Bevere Family, for always being so transparent and relatable! I am so thankful that you arm your children and viewers/listeners with facts and information that support your decisions! You mentioned a lot of studies concerning the effects of social media on individuals of varying ages- is it possible for you to share the links to those studies or other information where we can see and share those findings?

These shows with teens are so insightful. Thank you So much. One of our boys just turn 13 and when I was listening to Asher, I was able to understand more my son and the moods and changes he is going through… to your teens. Thank you for joining mom and dad at the table!

I LOVE these conversations and I love hearing your young teens being honest. I want to hear their perspective on KZfaq and y’all’s perspective on KZfaq as social media/ a way of learning and how yall train in that aspect. 🙏🏾

This is such a helpful video! I'm not a parent but watching how you both navigated this conversation with your kids was so healthy and definitely something I'll apply for my future kids ✊

This was fantastic and so helpful. Just thought I'd let you know that the agreement has one of the points listed twice (unless it was intentional?) and a spelling mistake "watching shoes" instead of "shows"

Honestly I am so impressed with your son and how he is so honest with you. Gives me so much hope that I will have the same type of relationship my son as he grows.

For your boy, life will always feel like your different from the peers , especially if you’re doing something different and to better yourself, right now it’s your parents trying to better yall just pray for that 😊 just think there’s a great number of people trying to dumb down their phone anyhow because there’s depression etc

Well done parents. You raised your kids to be very self aware children. I believe this is possible because you makes it safe for them to speak. It shows how well you researched to make an informed decision for your children. I don’t have any children yet I am a high school teacher and I can see how damaging social media has become. It’s terrifying!! We must pray for parents.

This is your best episode yet (and they are all good!). I REALLY appreciate the honesty and the biblical worldview you provide about phones. Also thankful your kids shared the honest battle. We need more of this! Good job 👏🏼

We were talking about this issue in our church leadership meeting. Parents feel their teens are glued to their phones. I noticed it when teaching the youth class two weeks ago. Three youth were told to keep their phones off during class.

🎉🎉***ATTENTION***🎉🎉 My family and I have a blended dynamic. We have all boys, 2 of which have phones. At our home we have rules and structure. Not so much at the other parents. Can your podcasts include more practical ways to implement structure and obedience in blended families in EVERY SITUATION? We pray for the other parents that they come to know the Lord and we also know that we can only control our household and keep doing our thing God's way, but it becomes discouraging and disheartening when the boys choose things contrary to what is being taught in our home.
