I like the idea about having talks early, so it isn’t about one boy, one activity, or one friend. (Same theme here with financial aid, or anything: your kids are a million times better off if they know what the rules of the game are before playing.)

Like the idea of limiting cell use. My parents NEVER monitored my calls, but would chat with whomever called - “Hey Jane, how are you? Congrats on making band. How’s the hubby doing? Great, here’s Aries.”

I know, I know, I’m an internet addict - but am convinced that “no internet until homework is done” can be great for keeping kids on track.

Enforcing some semblance of a bed time. Younger kids need more sleep than high schoolers.

Athletics, athletics, athletics.
