[quote=Anonymous]Make sure they are engaged and involved with non-screen activities and that you model social skills by not using a phone as a crutch when you are with others. Most kids lack social skills. Seriously, I believe the vast amount of time spent on video games contributes to this and a lack of imagination. Staring at a screen is also bad for their eyes. Everything in moderation but hours every day and emotional/psychological dependence is not in moderation. I had a child ~11 asking for my phone in a no-phone context and my friend handled it really well. He asked what a phone could possibly offer him if all of his friends were all RIGHT THERE in person (pre-covid) and wanting to hang out with him. "Nothing" and he went off to play. [/quote]
