[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But when will you let them? Is it when they leave for college? 
We have this rule & I’m trying to figure out if I should start letting him have it in his room on Fri & Sat as a start. Like maybe he’ll have a night or two & be on it all night & feel tired the next day? Like when should they start to self regulate - it do you just let them figure it out in college? [/quote]

Why can’t they have this the first time at college? What’s wrong with that. We don’t have to ensure kids experience everything before they go to college. I get that logic in concept of course/ but there are so many more life and executive function skills that benefit a person to introduce and let them try before having them sleep in their room with their phone.

There are research studies that simply having your phone in your room turned off impacts your sleep. Just it being in the room- you have to utilize brain power not to look at it- even when it’s off and you are asleep. [/quote]
