Maria unbuckles her seatbelt while the RBT is talking with Dad. Dad immediately removes the phone. He tells the RBT that he hasn't had to remove the phone in a long time. Since he started removing the phone every time she unbuckles, she had not been unbuckling much. What is impacting Maria's behavior?
