As a parent of young children, this honestly terrifies me. I know how addictive social media can be, and I'm trying to teach my kids how to set their own boundaries, but I don't know how to properly respond to problems caused by addiction. I don't believe in involuntary confiscation, but I may resort to that if my child loses my trust, and once I take something away, I lose whatever trust they have in me.
Does anyone have any good resources for dealing with this type of problem constructively? I know building trust in the first place is important, I just don't know much about what works with older children/teenagers. My current approach would be to treat them like an adult and have them come up with their own disciplinary measures.
