How much screen time should kids have? At what age should they be allowed to have a smartphone?
BYU alum Richard Culatta (BA ’03, MS ’06) answers these questions and more with helpful advice for parents trying to guide children through the digital world.
In this episode of the Y Magazine podcast, host Whitney Archibald (BA ’01) talks with Culatta and explores how parents can create a family digital culture focused on responsibility and balance.
This episode is based on the article “Mind the App,” by Sara Atwood (BA ’10, MA ‘15), which will appear in the Winter 2025 issue of Y Magazine.
