[quote=Anonymous]A lot of kids get cell phones in middle school if they don’t already have them. My tip is to NOT allow their cell phones in their room at night. They’ll claim they need it for music/white noise/alarm, but get separate devices for that. Kids with phones in their rooms get less sleep and they really REALLY need that sleep. A lot of parents I know say “oh my kids have them but they’re sleeping: they’re not ON the phones late” but those same kids are sending texts to my kids’ phone at crazy hours. Also set major limits with social media if you allow it at all. Be strict with screens. It’s worth it.[/quote]
