Who tf is using a “reward” (use of a mobile device) as a calming measure!? They never really define what type of emotion they’re calming, but they talk quite a bit about emotional coping skills, so I assume this isn’t just a hyper child needing stimulation or something more innocent like that. If a child is misbehaving, a parent should never use a reward to settle them down. They need to prepare the child for real life, where misbehaving doesn’t get rewarded.
