My daughter is 12 years old turning 13 soon.

My wife’s been struggling with letting her walk home from school and go places around the neighborhood with her friends.

So we finally caved on getting her a phone as a trade off to letting her have more independence.

We let her have a cell phone with the following rules:

-it’s our phone not hers

-she has to keep it charged and keep it with her when she’s not home so we can see where she is.

-she has screen time limits of 5:30 daily

-she has to answer when we call

-she acknowledges that we will be monitoring her messages and communications for her safety.

-she can’t use social media apps like tik tok, Snapchat, Instagram, etc.

-wear a whoop so we can encourage each other to be active and not let the phone give us bad physical activity habits.

So far so good, but I’m worried she’s not active enough already before getting her the phone.

Since the pandemic we kept her home from school so she would not have to wear a mask all day.

She developed poor habbits because all of her physical activities (hockey, karate, school) went out the window.

She wanted a dog forever and we finally capitulated because she promised to take care of him.

I thought she would be able to go on lots of walks etc with the dog … but he was a demon for the first year and we still have all the scars to show for it.

She is back in real school this year which has been great for her mentally and physically, but since the pandemic she only seems to be interested in playing games with friends, listening ti music and drawing … she plays hockey once a week still but quit karate.

I bought a meta quest to try to encourage more physical activity in games, but she got tired of that quickly and didn’t really give anything but beat saber a shot.

I don’t want to force her to enroll in physical activities, but I’m looking for tips on how to navigate this over the next couple of years as she becomes a young woman and more independent and opinionated.

She’s a great kid, does well in school independently and doesn’t get into trouble.

Anyone have any good resources for how to be a better parent and how to raise a teenage girl the right way?

Controversial note:

Bitcoin can't be owned.

There will never be your name on your coins. If you have the right key, you can just move them. If you fail to keep that key safe, everyone will be again able to move them again.. and like this Forever. ☯️🍀

A zap explainer for an old guy would be nice!

You need an LN address in your nostr profile to enable the zaps. LN address from Wallet of Satoshi, Blue wallet, or Alby (desktop).

Zap me and I’ll zap you back.

I half-wonder if it isn't psychological manipulation to increase CBDC adoption. "What's that? You say I can only have £10k of Sterling-CBDC? How dare you! Now I want £20k!"

However, I don't actually think HMT and the BoE are that smart...

Hellooo... Nostr friends

Drop yes in the comments if you want Alby to support Nip-57 asap... !!!!!

Testing @ln.tips

#[0] now receives Zaps as well 🚀🎉

Anyone using Alby/Zeus wanna zap? Our WOS friends are down rn

Out of curiosity, can you receive those zaps sats? I was able to send you, but I don't see any LNURL or lightning address on your profile.

These people who wake up and spend their day spewing hate severely lack social skills. It’s so boring and unoriginal to just insult people to appeal to incels.

Gm folks

Nostr is not social media. Nostr is a censorship resistant communication protocol.

Paid you

My friend
