My kids were bad about their phones, until I limited them to an hour a day to text. Now my son will call his girlfriend instead of texting, and my daughter refuses to answer a test from her boyfriend...to force him to call.

With the lack of personal communication skills between humans, my son started getting a bad stutter because he wasn't talking, he was texting. No more stuttering now, and he's learning how to verbally communicate properly.

If only their oldest sister would learn the same skills. She only communicates through text, and has no idea how to express emotions verbally.
