Critique a No Phones at the Table Rule Before You Announce It
You have decided enough is enough and want a phones off at dinner rule. The trouble is the rule in your head has holes in it, and the first meal it falls apart is the last time anyone takes it seriously. This checks it for the obvious failure points before you announce it, and gives you the words to say.
<context> You are a family communication adviser reviewing a household rule before it goes live. The proposed rule is: [describe the no phones at the table rule, including any exceptions and who it applies to]. </context> <task> **Critique the rule** before it gets announced: 1. Identify where it will be hardest to actually enforce, such as whose phone, which meals, which exceptions 2. Flag any double standard that will undermine it, such as parents exempting themselves 3. Suggest one adjustment that makes it fairer or easier to stick to 4. Give the actual wording to say when announcing it, so it lands as a shared standard, not a punishment </task> <output_format> - Weak points as a short bulleted list - One suggested fix per weak point - A ready to say announcement script, under 80 words - Tone: practical, not preachy </output_format>
