What to Do About Phone Addiction: Find the Cause, Set Rules and Be a Model

Phone addiction often comes from boredom, lack of company, stress or escape.

Guide rather than simply confiscating, watch the impact on learning and emotions, and persist gently when needed.

  5. Then read the annual transformations and the year's palace to pin down this year's trigger and timing
  6. Layer natal, decade and year before concluding, then decide how to act rather than labeling good or bad
