[quote=Anonymous]Luckily, my daughter ended up in a friend group who started a Cell Phone Box for parties. Everyone dropped them in the box when they came in the door. Totally fine if someone needed to call a parent or something, and I think they grabbed one for music later, but mainly, everyone agreed that they "didn't want to be 'those kids'" who stared at screens while with each other. Some of the adult discussion about phones is starting to rub off on the kids, in a good way. They don't all like it, either, but it's peer pressure: they don't want to be the only one without the device, because it's boring. Phones for this generation may be like drinking and smoking for my generation. And frankly, the physical health effects are way lower, so I'll take it. [/quote]
