[quote=Anonymous]We do the basket for phones in the kitchen. Just like kids have to take their shoes off when they come in, they drop their phones in the basket. This is mostly needed for the kids in middle school (maybe through 9th). Those are the kids who think it's cool to whip out their phones constantly. By 11th grade they're over it. The very few kids who've been all "My mom says I have to keep my phone with me all the time" are the only ones who've broken their phones (two have dropped them then promptly jumped on them on the trampoline, breaking them) or lost them (putting them on the railing of the deck, then knocking it off and not finding it in the brush, or something else). They also will leave it somewhere in the house and then frantically beg someone to call their phone for them. Only one kid dropped it in the toilet, and was furious at me that I wouldn't haul it out. That kid wound up screaming and crying "You do it!" over and over and was never invited back again.[/quote]
