[quote=Anonymous]The phone for most teens is their "lifeline", however, there have to be guidelines/rules. 1. Set expectations before hand -if I see that you are glued to your phone during a holiday event then that shows me that you cannot handle the responsibility and you will have to hand it over 2. Don't be afraid to address the behavior in the moment - you are being rude and I will not tolerate this so hand the phone over 3. Don't wait too long to address it, especially by the time she is overtired 4. Don't have too much pride to acknowledge that you were wrong and should have addressed your expectations before the dinner and that moving forward there will be specific behaviors surrounding electronics that you will not tolerate I don't think it's too late to address and turn this behavior. Otherwise, you will be constantly fighting for the phone's attention[/quote]
