The Book of Actual Good Parenting/Chapter 3: Technology

Pictures of Jubilee, Joshua and Joanne on their phones with Jubilee with her legs crossed (not text)

Technology is everything for my kids. While my oldest three children, Jubilee, Joshua and Joanne were raised on technology, they absolutely love social media, specifically Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Netflix. I even let them bring their phones to school, except that they don't use theirs while they are learning and working on their schoolwork. Me and my husband also use phones. Not only we use them for social media, but also for taking pictures and recording videos.

I also let Jackson the Third, Jacob and Juniper be on their iPads for 30-40 minutes straight. When I hit the timer to 30-40 minutes, I give them their iPads. When 30-40 minutes is up, I take the iPads and put them on their specific rooms. I put Jackson, Jacob and Juniper's iPads on the kitchen counter. Juniper loved Gacha games and Toca World, but I refused to let her watch Gacha Heat videos on YouTube and TikTok. I also let the younger two play with fidget toys like pop-its.
