I saw my future in those words. :D

  Pro tip. No phones. No social media. It was unreal to see a happy, social, respectful teenager become depressed, uninvolved and nasty with a phone. Then a complete reversal every time it was taken away.

    not very realistic. Bay Area, schools force parents to buy ipads (with Hangouts and everything else). Eventually they also need laptops to do projects. Pretty soon the house is littered with devices, old and new, trying to decide every second if a device is being used for a "legit" purpose or not becomes impractical. The best hope is to teach them what's sensible and what's not, and leave it up to them, after all, they will have to deal with phones and social networks for the rest of their lives without you.

      Couldn’t disagree more. We have all the electronics for school. Kids make terrible choices. Force good habits as long as possible.
