[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We expect a reading break, exercise break and musical instrument break plus none at family meals. Are you sure she isn't seeing friends because the friends say no? We don't allow ours to see friends even outside so when you send your kid to our house trying to get a break, they get immediately sent home. Our open door policy is now very closed till Covid is better.[/quote] OP here. Only one friend has restrictions on outside gatherings, the other families are in the same boat, I know because I talk to the other parents and they for the most part are also trying to encourage their daughters to get off their phones and meet in person. [/quote] I started a thread about 12 year old girls yesterday and this has been my observation, too. They don’t seem to care at all about seeing each other in person, even when they’re allowed to. They’re totally content, if not way more comfortable, with the screen interactions. [/quote] My DD is in hybrid school so half the week she sees her friends at school. She's very social so I let her do a lot of screentime talking to her friends before that because she wasn't having much interaction with them in person. But even when she started school, she'd still want to get straight back on the computer after school interacting with screens. It is really addictive. [/quote]
