[QUOTE="DDD, post: 437754, member: 35"] I messed up the cell phone issue when easy child/difficult child was a teen. It was out of total ignorance. I had [B]no[/B] idea that other kids used their cells 24/7 and like a dummy I just assumed it would a convenience...not a lifestyle. Honestly the teens seemed to never turn off the phones including school nights. So...my biggest piece of advice is to set a rule that the phone is kept in your room from bedtime til the next day. I did that with difficult child (although he is not a social person with friends) before he got his. Like alot of rules I think the very first day sets the tone. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
