Any of you ever wonder about what your teenager talks about after midnight? In my opinion, they are either talking about the opposite sex OR talking to someone of the opposite sex.
My husband and I decided to take our teenager’s phones after 10 p.m. on school nights. We let them keep them in their rooms on weekends with instructions not to use them after midnight.
I usually examine the cell phone bill pretty closely. I recently noticed several calls placed to and from my daughter’s cell phone after midnight. I asked her about these calls and she said she had to call a friend back to tell them that she could not talk after midnight. I asked her why she did not text them, and her response was that returning the call was quicker. Right then, we knew we needed to implement a parental control like AT&T Smart Limits, so we did.
I don’t know what teenagers really talk about, but I think this subject should be top-of-mind for all parents.

So true. Keeping it away at night is a good idea. But you would be surprised how inventive they can be to find the ways to talk about their favorite subjects:-)
