[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the last few posters who aren’t sure this is quite as big a deal as the first few are. I remember some really good advice I got when the kids were younger from a parent if older kids was “remember when you read their texts it’s gonna make your eyeballs burn up sometimes.” It has been my practice to look at their phones when they’re still younger teams because I want to know what’s happening in their lives and what they’re dealing with. But I don’t think “take away their phone ” is the right answer to everything. Have you listen to teenagers talk? They will be swearing a lot. Have you listen to teenage boys talk to each other? There will be a lot of put downs. That’s not to say that bullying or obviously anything sexually predatory should be ignored. But in your case I would probably actually check his phone multiple times and get a sense of pattern and how kids speak to each other and also drop in the reminders about anything they say you can be screenshot and passed around…[/quote]
