[quote=Anonymous]Kids don't talk on the phone any more (they think it's rude), and yes, this is affecting the young 20-something sat the office. For our own family solution, we got the kids a brick as they called it, when they were younger. A phone that would talk and text only (even if there was wifi, they didn't have access to the internet). So no SM, no IG, no SnapChat, no TikTok, ettc. They could text with friends on their brick, and we had a family iPad that everyone had access to that we kept in the family room only. We also implemented a no electronics in any bedroom rule (plugged in downstairs overnight, bedrooms all upstairs). They earned smart phones with good grades and good behavior at the start of 8th grade. And, when either suffered, they lost their smart phones. We followed through on our family rules [/quote]
