Dear Queenie,
Since my teenage daughter got her own cellphone she is always concentrating on its apps and doesn’t have any attention for the outside world. She hardly even talks to you unless it’s on the phone.
Queenie, what do you have to say about this?—Worried parent
Dear Parent,
This is common behaviour for teenagers, but often they take it too far and parents have to intervene. For one thing, you can insist that your daughter’s cellphone be turned off and/or put away during family dinners and other such family occasions.
