Why does my dad take away my phone for no reason?
Having your phone taken away by your parents is a relatively common punishment. Your parents may decide to take your phone away because you have abused your phone privileges. They may also decide to take your phone away as a punishment for a different mistake.
What to do when you get your electronics taken away?
Things To Do While Grounded From Your Phone
- Go for a walk.
- Put together a puzzle.
- Write a story (something about how horrible life is without a phone would be appropriate)
- Complain endlessly about how your friends never get their phones taken away, and how your parents are making you a social pariah.
Should parents take away cell phones at night?
Take away the phone at night. The answer to this question—should parents take away cell phones at night?— is much more definitive, say the experts. Yes, unless you are absolutely sure your teenager is able to put the phone away (and not pick it up) at bedtime. That’s because screens and sleep do not mix.
Do you text at night without your son’s phone?
Without his phone at night, there could be no chance for an all-night texting marathon. As parents we were probably too lax in this area. We didn’t know how much or how long our son was texting at night. When my husband and I grew up, we each had one phone, and it was attached to our kitchen wall.
Should I put my teenager’s phone away at Bedtime?
Yes, unless you are sure your teenager is able to put the phone away (and not pick it up) at bedtime. That’s because screens and sleep do not mix. The light emitted by the typical screen inhibits the production of melatonin in our brains. Melatonin is the chemical that allows us to fall and stay asleep.
What will happen if you don’t have contact with your child?
Contact with your kid will be lost. Today’s parents have grown accustomed to instant contact with their kids through cell phones, and kids are getting cell phones now at age ten or even younger. I remember going outside to play as a kid and being gone all day with no contact at all with my parents until dinner. But it’s a different world now.
