11. Help.. my child wants a phone

The day has come when Louise could no longer justify holding off the big step it is - to allow her 11 year-old daughter a phone. 
Listen to this episode as Ellie and Louise explore what fears and worries Louise has wrestled with and how children often surprise us in the most wonderful ways when we choose to take a leap of faith. 

• How does fear of judgment play into these key parenting decisions? 
• When do our rules serve our child and when are they mostly serving our self-image as a 'good mum'?
• Are we to track or check our child's phone? 

These are some of the questions Ellie and Louise explore in this episode - and whether you are already an old hand at parenting children with phones - or you think this might be your reality soon - this episode might feel helpful
