[quote=Anonymous]If you don’t allow them phones at 12-14 they usually will sit around awkwardly - which is better than the phones ! - but it really is the age. Brought my 2 (14 and 17) to something similar at a friends house on Xmas Eve and my 14 yo knows better than to sit on her phone but she was pretty silent lol. Her sister would have at 14 too but at 17 she was herself and chatting with the other teens. And tasked with helping her sister engage. Youngest left early (mostly bc she’s getting over getting sick) but just that practice sitting in her discomfort and listening to the other kids was good practice. She didn’t complain about going. Keep pushing your kids outside their comfort zone and they will get it eventually.[/quote]
