[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's absurd to collect the phones ahead of time for a meeting/sports practice/etc. One of our expectations of the kids is that they know when it's appropriate to use it and when not. If a kid demonstrates she can't stay off it during that time, then the logical consequence is to take it after that, not before. As far as having them at sleepovers, why not? If a girl is spending her time on the phone rather than socializing, she's not likely to be asked back. You're foolish if you think taking them will prevent them from taking photos/making musicalys/inappropriate content. They have plenty of opportunities to do so outside your sleepover. Better to teach your kid to say 'no'.[/quote] The mom in my OP who confiscated the phones stated she did so to keep the girls from taking pictures and posting them on social media--so that other girls would t feel left out for not being invited. Not necessarily to limit screen time. [/quote]
