[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I could go back in time, one of the parenting decisions I would reverse was getting a smartphone for my kiddo. For DC, the smartphone has been the gateway drug leading to an ever-widening array of social media temptations and distractions. And here's the thing: the addiction is such that whenever I have implemented reasonable controls, my kiddo has found work-arounds. Put controls on the phone, and the kid uses the (internet-enabled) ipod; take away phone and ipod, and the kid uses the laptop. You get the picture.[/quote] Wise words indeed. Parents, take heed.[/quote] I think at least in middle school, girls are the ones who are fixated on social media. Boys seem more likely to get addicted to video games.[/quote]
