We received some great questions about parenting that we\u2019re addressing today.

We love it receiving questions so if you have one please don\u2019t hesitate to ask us. You can leave a voice message for us on our podcast page, or you can email us support@extraordinaryfamilylife.com

The first question is about teen device usage and sneaky behavior.

We are having an issue with our son's cell phone usage\u2026We limit it and have always made him turn in his cellphone at night to promote good, healthy habits.\xa0 I just discovered that he has been hiding an old cracked cell phone that he has been using at night.\xa0 He also has apps such as TikTok and Snapchat that we do not allow.\xa0 I know that the phones and apps are made to be addicting.\xa0 I just don't know how to approach this issue.\xa0 I will be turning off the wifi night now but how do you deal with the sneaking second phones and apps?\xa0 It indicates to me that he may be addicted to these apps and his phone.\xa0 I am curious if you have encountered this before.\xa0 It is very concerning to us and I would value your input and opinion.

The second question is also very relevant with long-term consequences.

I\u2019d like to request for you and your husband to talk about the sex drive in teenage boys specifically. As a parent how do you guide them so they can handle their \u201curges\u201d in a healthy manner? How do you educate them so they don\u2019t fall pray with the use of pornography? What are the best ways to support them instead of shaming for having these normal desires? Our society is so full of trashy messages about sex, masturbation, pornography, etc., that I honestly worry about the future of these young men!

If you have kids, make sure you listen to this very important episode!
