2. Movies & shows are watched on the big screens, not the phone or tablet
3. Mealtime is a No Phone Zone
4. Phones go away one hour before bedtime
5. Grades drop = phone is gone
6. When phones are ON, we use them to promote family togetherness
7. Phone safety
8. Have an occasional unplugged weekend
