[quote=Anonymous]Also struggling with this with my teen and agree that whatever app you install, there is a way around it. He manages to find video distractions on his computer when doing homework, needs his phone to check assignments and coordinate with friends but if you turn it on, it turns into Youtube videos, etc. It is really hard to police. And the more it is restricted, the more he craves it. We have gotten to the point where he sometimes needs to do his homework next to us so make sure he is not moving over to Roblox. We sign him up for things and he does them. He gets good grades. He has friends. The issue is initiative. He will choose video over seeing friends or a social activity. He just waits for his free time and wants to fit video in. We just want him to initiate activities on his own. He will engage in activities, but only if I force him or schedule it. Don't have a solution yet... [/quote]
