An older sibling has a phone
When the big kid scrolls
- To the little one: “Your brother is older, so he has some grown-up jobs and grown-up things. You’ll get to choose too when you’re bigger.”
- To the big kid, privately: “Could you use your phone in your room or after she’s in bed? She watches everything you do.”
- Then offer the swap: “Want to ask your brother to play a card game with you instead?”
