(AUDIO) JUSTIN MOORE HOPES TO KEEP TECHNOLOGY OUT OF HIS KIDS’ HANDS FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE

Justin Moore has four kids, ages 9, 7, 5 and 2, and like every parent, he struggles with decisions like when to let them have a cell phone, or when they will be allowed to get on social media.  His oldest daughter, Ella, who is 9, got an iPod from Justin and his wife Kate as a gift, and he says, “She’s still so young – well, at least I believe she’s naïve enough to only think that it’s for playing music – so I could be crazy. I could be the naive one.  But that’s what we think she uses it for now.”  He jokes, “Maybe we need to take a look at it now that I say that.”

Justin decided to move his family back to his home state of Arkansas when he started having kids, so that he could raise them in a small town, and when it comes to things like cell phones and social media, he says, “We’ll probably be later than some people just cause we’re a little more overprotective or something, and I know some of our friends are, maybe. I say that, but heck, she may have one next week. You never know, but at least it’s our goal to hold it off as long as we possibly can.”

We know Justin Moore’s kids know how to use a cell phone, because it’s how they call him and FaceTime with him when he’s on the road promoting his brand new single, “Why We Drink,” and touring around the country.

Justin Moore – kids on social media and phone

We’ve kind of talked about it a little bit. We got Ella an iPod, but she’s still so young – well, at least I believe she’s naïve enough to only think that it’s for playing music – so I could be crazy. I could be the naive one.  But that’s what we think she uses it for now. Maybe we need to take a look at it now that I say that.  But we’ll probably be later than some people just cause we’re a little more overprotective or something and I know some of our friends are, maybe. I say that, but heck, she may have one next week. You never know, but at least it’s our goal to hold it off as long as we possibly can.”
