Early one morning, Marjolein and Martine had a digital discussion about phone use among young children.

Martin:
05.50am – I know it’s early for you, but I need your help… V has a friend and she brought her phone.

05.51 He is 7 years old and arrives here with an iPhone 14… seriously 🤪 I didn’t think I should actually have an opinion about this.

05.52 How do you do this? Her mother wants her to be available. But now suddenly they are here together in short YouTube videos.

marjoram:
07.01 this Monday morning 🥱

07.01 Already solved? That chica over there is nice and early! Put that phone in the kitchen or something? That mother can still reach you. Very Wonderful.

Martin:
07.08 I never felt like that mom who forbids everything again… so now I’m sitting with them on the edge of the pool… 💦

marjoram:
07.09 7 degrees here 🌧️ And the mother goose is looking for breakfast food in the cold but she rubs it 😎👙 *empties the dishwasher*

07.10 Anyway, your house is your rules, come on you can do it! Or will this 7-year-old throw a tantrum? Or will her mother and father not accept it?

Martin:
07.17 Well, yes, they can imitate the dance together, I promised… Not that they just want to do it. But suddenly I’m on the brink. What do I actually think about this? What are my rules? 🤔

07.18 How was your weekend?

marjoram:
07.19 Yes changing the subject!! Tip from Flip – Phones in the lunch box or elsewhere in the kitchen. Explain that it is about doing other fun things and that this is how it is done in your home. If necessary, add your good example etc. At 7 years old, I would say, 10 minutes max together upstairs and downstairs, don’t take that thing into the bedroom… FF is also checking with these parents whether she hasn’t created any public adult accounts for my daughter, regarding dancing With V? 07.20 Sleep was possible, a pillow fight between two teeth through the lips, only one person had to throw up and suddenly no one wanted to go home at 3am. Nice and easy!
