[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for the input.  We do have her in a ton of activities because we like to keep her busy and active.  The grandparents accuse us of over-scheduling her, but we think it's good to be busy!

Compared to when I grew up in the late 1970s and 1980's, I feel like there is too much screen time when kids are not kept busy.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? The only difference between now and then is back then everyone stared at the SAME screen.[/quote]

No that's not the only difference.  [b]Back in the day[/b], you didn't carry your screen with you everywhere, in your hand, to be able to stare at it literally 24/7, to the exclusion of the world around you.[/quote]

This may come as a surprise but technology is changing the world.  You sound like the crotchety old man waving his fist at the young whippersnappers who won't get off his lawn.  Why are you afraid of technology?  I mean- even in the OP's case, the phone isn't the issue.  The hidden boyfriend is the issue.  If the daughter didn't have the phone, OP wouldn't have found out.  I can't believe how paranoid some people are the changing world.  Are you the Alaskan Bush People?[/quote]
