I agree. Conventional parenting advice is punitive – take away cellphones if kids don’t follow the rules – that will certainly increase communication between parent and child – NOT!

This is wonderful. I am going to print it out and save it for later, when my son is older. I also don’t agree with punishments of taking away devices… My son doesn’t spend a lot of time on computer or my phone, but I know when he grows up he may change and this contract will be very helpful. Thank you very much.
