[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is normal in families where there aren’t boundaries and expectations on behavior. Some families teach their kids how to manage social situations, talk, be engaged, and others let their kids sit on the couch zonked out on a phone. I’m a hs teacher and you can tell the difference. I call the ones whose parents allowed the phone to raise them “blob kids.” They have no interests, no social skills, no conversational skills, nothing. They’re either staring at the phone or, if that’s not allowed, blankly staring into space. It’s sad. [/quote] I'm worried about this. I think most of us have phone addiction, myself included. I never use it in social settings, but even among adults it's becoming more common to pull out the phone at parties. High schools that banned the phone found that the lunch periods were no longer silent. I think we need to go that route.[/quote] +1[/quote]
