Spiegel himself had restricted access to tech growing up, and he wants to pass that on to his kids. He said it was good because that meant that he "spent a lot of time just building stuff and reading or whatever."
The former Victoria's Secret angel and the Snapchat CEO don't allow their kids a lot of tech time. In fact, Kerr's son (whom she shares with Orlando Bloom), Flynn, only gets 1.5 hours of screen time per week!
J.Lo doesn't let her children near tech during the week. Though they do get to do it on Sundays, or as she calls it, "Sunday Funday."
For the YouTube CEO, it's all about making sure her kids get to create their own self-control methods.
Wojcicki also takes away the kids' phones when the family goes on vacation, so they can be more present. "People need to learn when it is a time [to be] focused in the conversation, and when it is OK to go and watch videos or do other activities on the internet," she said.

"Sunday Funday, they work towards that because they don't get to use their iPads during the week, or play video games or anything because it's school time. And they have to be good in school and then they get Sunday Funday. It's something I made up so they could work towards it and behave," said Lopez.
Prince William and Kate Middleton like their kids to play using their imagination, so tech use is limited.
The former supermodel allocates screen time strategically. She does so by letting her kids use their iPads on planes. "Normally, there's a certain amount of time they can play, but when we're on the airplane, the sky is the limit. By the time we land, they have square eyeballs," Klum said.
The former soccer star said in a 2014 interview that one hour was the limit, because he wanted his kids to play outside.
Heidi Klum also vets her eldest daughter Leni's pictures on social media before she posts them, even though they're posted on a private account. "Even though it's just her friends, you never know who they could send it to," Klum explains.
Monitoring tech use of six children can be hard work, so instead, Jolie prefers to monitor the content they watch.
"It's so important to me that they're involved in sports—for discipline and health," added Beckham.
Although Kim Kardashian makes a lot of money on social media, she actually grew up with restricted access to tech.
The actress reportedly hired a cyber security expert to do just that. That's a whole new level of parental control!
So it's only natural that she wants her kids to follow her steps. As a family rule, phone use is not allowed at breakfast, dinner, and bedtime.
Barack and Michelle Obama also established some rules for their daughters daughters Malia and Sasha. While living at the White House, there was limited screen time during the week.
The couple does, however, allow their kids to use Facebook's video chat to keep in touch with their grandparents and aunts.
"There's nothing wrong with every once in a while putting the technology down and actually having a conversation," said the former US President.
When they're not visiting cool places like zoos or traveling, George, Charlotte, and Louis, enjoy playing outdoors.
Mr. Facebook is not a big fan of letting his daughters sit in front of a screen for a long time.
The couple restricts tech time but Teigen likes her children to play with learning activity apps when they do have access to smartphones.
"We often set a time after which there is no screen time, and in their case that helps them get to sleep at a reasonable hour," said the co-founder of Microsoft.
Despite recent news of separation, the couple raised three children together, and none of them had access to a cell phone until they turned 14!
However, the couple relaxes the rules a bit in certain occasions, such as when their kids are in planes or restaurants.
Ohanian said in an interview, before their daughter was born, that "It's really important that she gets time to just be with her thoughts and be with her blocks and be with her toys, so we'll be regulating it pretty heavily."
The tennis star and the Reddit co-founder welcomed their daughter Alexis in 2017.
In addition to no phones after 10 pm, Cuban also has other rules, including: one hour reading equals two hours to watch Netflix, and do your homework before playing video games.
The 'Shark Tank' star has no problem admitting that he monitors his children's tech use. Cuban uses management software to control his children's phones and can even shut them down if he wants!
Technology is a wonderful thing and can indeed be a godsend in certain occasions, but like anything else, too much of it can be harmful. This is particularly true for children, who are now born into a world dominated by tech.
Restricting your kids' screen time and use of technology can be hard, but it's not impossible. Many celebrity parents do exactly that, and some have very peculiar methods!
For Victoria Beckham, that means keeping her daughter away from social media while she goes through puberty. Speaking to Vogue Australia, the former Spice Girl recently shared that she's worried about her 10-year-old daughter Harper's self-esteem once she goes online. “Harper isn’t on social media, so we don’t have to worry about [body-shaming] just yet,” she shared. “But seeing how cruel people can be, yes, it really does [concern me].”
The fashion designer believes that strong communication within the family and making sure Harper surrounds herself with good people will be key to build a strong self-esteem that can withstand things like social media trolls. “But it is quite terrifying, I can’t lie," she added.
