[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is also having a hard time managing her time on her electronics. I want to take them away but my husband wants her to learn. [/quote] Learning by osmosis ("they'll figure it out eventually") doesn't work for every teen, or for every skill. Electronics are designed for the user to lose track of time. An electronics detox is not a bad short term solution. But you and DH should think about how to teach her to manage her electronics time.[/quote] Agree with this. How are you helping her learn? Because she doesn't seem to be doing it on her own. You have a couple of years of scaffolding you can do before you leaving her to her own devices, so to speak.[/quote]
