[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Not my kid, not my problem. I'm not going to control another person's kid's phone. And if there's an emergency I want my kid to be able to contact me without involving you. [/quote]

Are you serious? How many emergencies do you all have? It is a control helicopter issue. At least admit to that [/quote]

The helicopter is the mom trying to manage the phone use of other people’s kids so her own kid doesn’t have to speak up.[/quote]

No it is an option a lot of parents like and agree to ahead of time. At least that is how it is at our house. It’s a choice to come over and leave your phone upstairs and hang out downstairs. You can come upstairs and use it if needed. So it isn’t taken away. Sure the tweens/teens will still kinda talk while on their phones but it all social media, one upping, trying to post, etc… With the phones upstairs the kids play board games, ping pong, shuffleboard, card games, and even sit and all talk face to face. Something many kids no longer know how to do. [/quote]

That is where I am at.  Kids can use their phones all day in school and at home alone and with friends.  They are constantly on them.  It is nice to have breaks and do things without them.  It takes the pressure off all of the kids and let's them learn to enjoy other things with friends. [/quote]
