[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never limited screen time because I feel if we forbid something, it's always what they want.

I have 2 boys, ages 16 and 18. My rules have always been

get As and Bs (both have that ability and are good students)

exercise every day

go outside every day

family dinner/movies/outings are without screens

do your chores'

and if you do that, you can do whatever you want with the rest of your day.

And I never bug them or try to get them off their video games--- I just kind of give them the impression it is lame.

My 18 year old rarely plays video games - maybe never, he does watch a lot of netflix and texts his friends

My 16 year old plays A LOT of video games, but he still does the required things and even he gets tired of it sometimes and turns it off - probably because he knows he can play again whenever.  We treat it like no big deal.

Same here, no limits if HW and chores are done. DS gets screens taken away as punishment, but I had to do it only one time. Definitely he is playing more with COVID and cold weather, but grades are good, chores are done and he is generally nice to be around, respectful tween, so why limit something he enjoys?[/quote]
