Catherine

I think she arrived in Suffolk pregnant and came to Suffolk so that nobody at home would know she'd had a baby.

And she had told him that she had had a baby and had it adopted.

Thank you for the work that you do.

And Oprah, of course, such a big fan.

Thank you.

So I have a 13-year-old and a 10-year-old.

My 13-year-old is my son who I find that I have the biggest challenge with.

He struggles a lot with impulse control with his phone.

And even though when he got his phone about a year and a half ago, we put a contract in place and we adhered to it pretty well.

The last couple of years, I've been struggling with breast cancer.

And in that time, I was not able to monitor it in the same way that I used to.

And I think he started using his phone as an emotional support buddy almost.

And what I have found is that he is not able to self-regulate even around the rules.

And even though he cognitively can say, okay, mom, I'm going to put it down.

He takes it up immediately like an addiction, like you were speaking about.

And I find it such a struggle because now he's

bigger than I am.

It's the only currency I have with him to have some control, but then he gets aggressive and I'm not able to take it away like I was able to even a year and a half ago.

And what I'm noticing, speaking to the addiction part that you noted, Dr. Lemke, is that he's manipulating and he's using different strategies cognitively to justify his behavior like, oh, I'm just looking something up and, oh, I'm doing some research for school.

And I really am struggling to figure out what to do from a conscious parenting lens.
