" What is the best way to handle my teenage son&amp;#039;s constant texting? At home or not, he&amp;#039;s always on his phone! Start by setting a good example yourself \u2014 then draw some boundaries. P.S. Assuming you&amp;#039;re not constantly texting, you can let your son know that doing it at certain times (e.g., at meals) is a no-go. You can also calmly explain that it&amp;#039;s good for relationships if people actually talk directly to (and even look at) each other when speaking. But do realize that texting is a normal part of a teen&amp;#039;s life these days, so if your guidelines are slow to kick in, you could ask your son to pay the cost of his text-messages. TELL US: How would you handle this situation? NEXT: How to deal with a stranger who is texting at the movies \u00BB "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
