[quote=Anonymous]Limit extracurriculars to what is truly valuable and add more household chores. I hear a lot about screens- I bought my DS a phone at the end of 6th grade because that is how the kids at his school communicate. He was being left out of everything and I didn't feel like I could give him a lot of freedom of movement because he had no way of contacting me. iPhones can be put on downtime- allow only texting and calling during certain periods or simply turn it off from your phone. The worst, is out of my control-- school iPads (aka the most misguided educational trend of the 21st century). [/quote]
