I found the concept appalling at first, After reading it through I find it mostly acceptable and more importantly understandable.
I believe healthy parenting balances between gradual independence allotment along with measures to yank them back out of trouble. But most importantly proper teaching to explain the why behind the values one wants to pass on. This ToC does a decent job of that.
... but still
Doubt this would hold up in court.
I actually appreciate this a lot; there used to be a time that people talked to each other to learn things, and this also would break the ice between them. and a way to display the personality trait of willingness to help others. lmgtfy.com is not clever, its just a icon of people's dwindling social skills and inability to see a question as a chance to talk to someone new.
2 guys with the similar personality traits are next to each other, one is so used to talking to people words just come right out, he can read body language and understands subtle reactions. The other is quiet, constantly texting and short on words and shows little to no eye contact and attention to the environment.
They have roughly the same interests and personalities, but which is a girl more likely to find more interesting? This one is only helping the guy all around. (The example applies in reversed genders too j/s)
This stuff sounds extreme, but i gotta say it; think about how differently things would have went for "Amanda Todd" if she had a mom like this?

Quote:14. Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe and secure in that decision. It is not alive or an extension of you. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more powerful than FOMO -- fear of missing out.
