Dear Queenie,
Our daughter is on her cell phone all the time texting, even late at night when she should be sleeping and then she can’t wake up in the morning and when she finally gets up it takes her forever to get dressed because she’s on her phone all the time. We have to take her phone away to get her to do her homework.
Queenie, what can we do?—Worried parents
Dear Parents,
You have to set limits on your daughter’s cell phone use and, if necessary, enforce those limits by taking her phone away from her when she does not abide by them – for example, at bedtime and homework-time.
And I hope you do not let her take her cell phone with her when she goes to school.
