[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... I think maybe moderation re: sleepovers... like 2 nights in a row over the summer is enough? I'm not sure... my only rationale is that I want him to be connected to his family.... and not always be at other peoples' places. From their homes, he can walk to bethesda, so maybe that's the attractor-- but we also have to be careful re: supervision.

I appreciate the comment about not twisting myself up to get him to enjoy this trip. It's just hard b/c we don't go on many trips...

He's a good kid, but he is just really in the teen phase and he's a boy, so he doesn't share that much. I need to realistic that he might like some things and be bored by others. I do think it's a good idea to have him tell friends he can't talk. It's annoying in that that thing buzzes constantly.... Thx for input[/quote]

I have established times when they can be on electronics/screen time (including phone!).  I don't want my kids to think it's normal to constantly be connected.  I'm sorry but it's just ridiculous how many texts one of my teen gets.  It's just too much.

Think about when we were growing up, did your parents let you have the tv on all day?  Or talk on the phone all day?  Likely not.  Similar thing.[/quote]
