Smartphone Contract for Your Teenager
Having a smartphone contract can help your teen manage their screen time. Giving kids a cell phone means giving them a lot of responsibility. Having a cell phone contract is a good way to manage some of the challenges that can come along with a phone. This is especially important for kids who are easily distracted or who struggle with impulse control. A cell phone contract can also help set limits on how much kids can spend each month on apps. If time management is a problem, you can set “phone-free” hours during class or at mealtimes or bedtime. These are some of the reasons why a cell phone contract may be especially helpful for kids with ADHD . Creating a smartphone contract between you and your teen (tween) is an excellent way to teach your child about these rules and responsibilities , as well as the consequences for not seeing them through. Be sure you go over every item in your contract, giving your child the opportunity to ask questions and even make suggestions. Here&
