## Guides
- [Phone-Free Dinner: A Rule Everyone Follows](https://phone-habits.pages.dev/phone-free-dinner-family-rule/): A phone free dinner family rule works when every household member follows the same agreed boundary, including adults.
- [A Charging Station Outside the Bedroom](https://phone-habits.pages.dev/charging-station-outside-bedroom/): A charging station outside bedroom areas gives children a predictable place to leave phones overnight and helps separate bedtime from screen use.
- [Weekend Rules vs School Night Rules](https://phone-habits.pages.dev/weekend-phone-rules-kids/): Weekend phone rules kids can follow should allow more flexibility than school-night routines while keeping a few consistent household boundaries.
- [When Parents Model the Behavior Too](https://phone-habits.pages.dev/parents-model-phone-habits/): Children are more likely to take family phone rules seriously when parents follow the same principles they expect their children to follow.
- [Reviewing Family Phone Rules Every Few Months](https://phone-habits.pages.dev/review-family-phone-rules/): Review family phone rules every few months to check whether they still fit children's ages, school responsibilities, activities, and household needs.
