In part 2 of our chat with Maria from Focus on the Family NZ we tackle the challenges parents face in the digital age, starting with the question of what to do when your child wants a phone. We discuss setting boundaries for children's device use and the impact of affordable technology leading to even toddlers having their own devices.
