A few children have many friends. It is no doubt good to have friends to play with during holidays or when children are in primary and middle school. It is wise to limit the number of friends when the child grows up to be a teenager and is in high school by identifying the type of friends s/he gets along with based on his/her interests, hobbies, likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. However, some children do not know how to select their close friends and believe that everyone who talks to them politely is their friend. It is here, that parents can guide their children to choose right friends who would help them grow positively.

The child in this episode has n number of friends and is unable to ignore their calls as he feels it would be rude to do so. He gets calls through out the day. This renders him to the disposal of his friends. He is at the beck and call of his friends. Due to this, his studies get affected. Parents need to intervene in situations where friends become a distraction rather than companions. Parents can help their children to regulate their phone time usage effectively.
