6. Seize the electronics
This is the easiest and first step, especially since electronics are probably the reason your child is in trouble in the first place (too much video gaming, incessant texting, following Dr. Umar on Instagram).

Kids have reasons for doing most of the things they do… at least until they become teenagers, at which point their reasons just become “hormones.” Until then, you may want to set a precedent of sitting them down and listening to what they have to say. Ask them about the reasoning and emotions behind their choices. You may find that there’s something you can resolve easily. Or you may despise them more. It’s a toss-up.
