00:19can but you take them to school oh yeah school run most days I mean Catherine and I share it

00:24she probably does both okay and about like screens I think that the same problems I

00:30had at home how you do with digital with social networks it's it's really hard we

00:36don't my children don't have phones I think when George moves on to secondary school

00:41then maybe you might have a phone that has no internet access but now he's how is he

00:46now he's 12 and he has no phones no way and to be honest it's getting it's getting to

00:51the point where it's becoming a little okay like tension but I think he
