[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a craft party may be boring for 12 year olds?

My son and his friends still run around. He has had all active parties like sky zone, laser tag, paintball, etc.[/quote]

Whatever your opinion, or a kid's opinion of the party, may be, that doesn't mean you need to accept kids being on their phones. We're all so intolerant, and so are kids, of boredom. Be bored! It won't kill you. It's better than needing your phone for constant dopamine infusions. I give limited screentime for my kids, and they are still playing this ongoing imaginative game, even at ages 12 and 9.

I'm sorry for your daughter, OP, and I recommend collecting phones at the door for parties like this. We did and the kids didn't make a big deal and my daughter said she was very happy not to have them. None of her friends made a peep of complaint.

Everyone's kids and their friends will be different, but you are the parent and have the right to choose how things go down in your house.  [/quote]

This! My kid doesn’t really like crafts these days but she has been to her share of pottery or painting parties and she participates fully and giggles with her friends and does all the things party goers should do. Not being into an activity is not an excuse for being rude!!![/quote]
