[quote=Anonymous]I understand the FOMO aspect. However, I also see that by high school most kids are so busy with school, ECs, sports, work, that they NEED to shut down the phone for certain blocks of the evening to get sh*t done. By setting limits, you are helping them. My daughter will sometimes hand me her phone when she needs to complete something important or if she wants to truly relax without the buzzing in the background. Her friends know they won't get a response from her after a certain time (9:30pm in our house). Some side friends/acquaintances make snide comments but the good friends just accept it. I love it when my kids have friends with rules, whether self-imposed or parent-imposed. Parent-discipline within reason leads to self-discipline as young adults, at least that's the hope:) Good luck![/quote]
