[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12 yo plugs her iPad in in the kitchen. Also, we have our WiFi set up in a way that allows us to turn off WiFi to certain devices. [/quote] OP I would do this- we don't have problems with device usage at night (other times are harder) and my DS has ADHD and is prone to screen addiction. The key is not to hide the device (which may promote obsession as they look for it), it's to use the parental controls that Apple provides (or whatever works in your situation) to remotely shut down the device capability. For the phone for instance, we have texting and calling and email and calculator as "always allowed." We don't want to accidentally disable something that would limit DS from being able to get in touch with us. Everything else is shut down at certain times of the day (homework time, school, and bed time). I have to keep up on it, but it works. [/quote]
