[quote=Anonymous]We have a family rule of strictly limiting electronic devices after 9:30 pm. When we send invitations to have group sleepovers, we explain the rules. Phones and devices go into a big bowl in the living room where they charge overnight. We also have landlines throughout the house and show them to kids so if they need to call somebody, they can. I've never had a parent object to that rule and mostly, like PP, I get a "why didn't I think of that?" response. If a parent is uncomfortable, they are welcome not to send their kids, but that has never happened. Sleepovers at our house are quite popular so it doesn't seem to be an undue burden. I think those of you who are insisting that your kids can responsibly handle social media at age 11 because you've talked to them endlessly are really, really naive. [/quote]
