[quote=Anonymous]My kids know when they're with people, to put their phones away. And we agreed that if there is some urgent issue, I will text them at the beginning or end of their socializing, but not in the middle. DH and I have also really pushed the idea that you don't have to respond instantly to a text. Plus we lead by example and they see when we have friends over that our phones are in another room almost the entire time. In our house, kids put their phones in a basket by the door, near their shoes. They can come get their phone at any time but need to use it standing there - they can't bring it around the house. We tell parents this too, so they know they can reach out to us if they need their child to get in touch immediately. We've never had a problem with this system. [/quote]
