[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child isn't able to speak up enough to tell a parent that they need to use the phone, they aren't old enough to be advocating for themselves in a sleep over situation to begin with.

Teaching my kids that its okay to call me, no matter whom they have to ask to do so, is important to me. I can't advocate for kids who don't know how to advocate for themselves. [/quote]

Glad that works for you.  Doesn't work for me.  I prefer my kids not have to go through another adult to contact me which is why my kid has a phone.  I don't need another parent policing my communications with my kid - and I'm just as likely to text my kid as they are me.

Policing? It's that I DONT want to police it. If you can't go a few hours without texting your child maybe examine why?[/quote]

But you are policing it if you don't allow my child to have her personal device while at your house or if she has to go through you to communicate with me.  Why do you feel the need to control communications?[/quote]
