Okay, great. Well... It's certainly great to be here with you all on the Oprah podcast for what I believe is a vital conversation for all families.

We're talking about how to bring back some of that fun and freedom with social psychologist Jonathan Haidt and science journalist Katherine Price.

We wanted to talk to parents and teens around the country to hear their thoughts. And Lindsay and Pete are the parents of a fifth grade girl and a seventh grade boy. They are joining us from Concord, Massachusetts. And I understand you've decided to give phones to your kids when they turn 13. Is that correct?

Yeah, I get emotional. I really hear your struggle. I think I think what you're saying, Catherine, is so important. And I could see and hear in Lindsay's voice your own concern and your own questions about it. But you're going to override that. override that because you want to make everything okay and want to have peace in the family. I get that.
