[quote=Anonymous]My kids are older (teens and college students).  With the college students, we speak on the phone once or twice a week, but probably text once a day; sometimes more.   We have a family text thread going and they send photos; links to interesting articles, videos and songs.  Or they'll text "hey, guess who I just saw/heard from?", etc.  DH and I do the same.  Very little about logistics actually.  For example, today one college student texted about the "taco truck on every corner" meme and another texted about his soccer practice.  My high school senior will text less often because she's living at home, but when she was away this summer, we'd usually get one text per day -- lots of photos because she was traveling to interesting and beautiful places.

There's a huge difference, though, between a 13 y.o. and a high school senior or college student.  You might expect a younger kid to text and call more frequently.  That said, it does seem like your nephew might be on the higher frequency end of the spectrum, but, if he was having fun and participating in family activities, it doesn't seem like a problem.
