Moms Off Mute Raising Digital Kids. A Podcast for Parents, By Moms.

09/07/2026

You can decide not to post your kids online. You can't decide whether they end up in the background of someone else's photo. 📱

That's the reality Jordan sits with in this week's Moms Off Mute. She and Evan also get into why supervising kids online feels so different from supervising them in the backyard, especially as they get older and want more room to move.

🎧 New episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. And Season 2 isn't done yet, two Best of the Season episodes are coming over the next two weeks.

How has your family thought about your kid's digital footprint?

Be honest. How many unread emails are on your phone right now? 🫣

Jordan and Evan got asked who has the most, and one inbox has apparently stopped counting. Google won't even show the number anymore. 😅

Turns out you can share every family tech goal with your partner and still have wildly different habits of your own.

New episode out now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Inbox zero, or unread and unbothered?

“No screens during the week" means something different in every house. 📱

At Jordan and Evan's, it still leaves room for FaceTime with grandparents, music, and story time. What it doesn't leave room for is tablets at the table. Meals are for books, crayons, and actual conversation.

It's a good reminder that the rule matters less than what you're protecting with it.

So what gets an exception in your house?

Before having kids, couples might talk about schools, discipline, and family traditions. But what about screen time? 📱

In this week’s Moms Off Mute podcast conversation, host Jordan Glover and her husband Evan admit that digital parenting wasn’t one of the decisions they planned in advance. Instead, they learned together ➡️ one FaceTime call and repeat viewings of A Bug’s Life at a time. 😅

Their experience may sound familiar: Family technology rules often take shape once parents see what works for their children and what needs to change.

Was digital parenting something you discussed before becoming a parent? Or are you figuring it out as you go?

College students: Do you really always have five minutes to call your mom? ☎️🎓

In this week’s Moms Off Mute conversation, Amy’s college-age son shares his advice for students adjusting to life away from home: make time for the little things.

A quick call, text, or check-in may feel small, but it can help families stay connected as young adults build independent lives.

And yes! Jordan made sure to ask whether he practices what he preaches. His answer? He calls his mom “a good amount.” 😄

If you pay for your child’s phone, is it your phone or theirs? 📱

In this week’s Moms Off Mute conversation, Amy shares a familiar family debate ➡️ she pays for the phone, but her child is the one using it every day.

For parents, paying for the device and service can come with a sense of responsibility for what happens on it. For children, that same phone holds their conversations, friendships, and personal digital life.

👉🏼 That’s why expectations around access, privacy, and responsibility are worth discussing before they become a source of conflict.

Who does your family say the phone belongs to?

Can a smartphone be something parents approach cautiously and still be an important connection tool? 📱

In this Moms Off Mute episode, Jordan reflects on what she has learned from families who introduced phones earlier than they originally expected.

For some households, a device isn’t simply for entertainment. It helps children stay connected when family members live, work, or spend time in different places.

✅ The reason behind a child’s first phone matters! A decision that feels early for one household may meet an important need in another.

When should parents stop reading their child’s messages? 📱

In the newest Moms Off Mute podcast episode, our guest Amy shares how phone monitoring looks different with her 12-year-old than it did with her older son as he moved through high school and into college.

Her experience raises an important digital-parenting question ➡️ How do we protect children while gradually giving them greater privacy and independence?

The truth is, there isn’t one age when every family should automatically stop checking. A child’s maturity, online experiences, and current safety concerns all matter.

How has your approach to phone monitoring changed as your child has grown?

08/25/2026

What is the right age for a child’s first phone? 📱 The honest answer is that age is only one part of the decision.

In tomorrow's episode of the Moms Off Mute podcast, Amy shares why her younger child received a device earlier than she had originally expected. Following a change in their family structure, technology became an important way for them to stay connected across households.

Some children receive a phone for independence. Others need one for school, transportation, caregiving arrangements or communication between homes.

This Moms Off Mute episode goes live tomorrow!
