[quote=Anonymous]We had our kids sign a tech contract that clearly outlined what was allowed and what wasn't, and what the consequences were for breaking the contract (loss of phone for 48 hours, loss for 1 week, loss for 2 weeks, and don't think about getting your phone back). Oldest lost the phone for 48 hours once, and neither one of them broke the contract after that. If you aren't going to be able to follow through, don't create consequences. Google for appropriate tech contracts based on age, and cut and paste to create one that works for your family. We would sometimes sit next to them and say, show me (chats, emails, texts, etc.) and they knew as part of their contract we had the right to know all passwords and look at the phones any time we wanted. And then we spot checked in the evenings every once in a while. As they got older, as in 10th grade or so, we stopped checking - you have to trust at some point[/quote]
