[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids earn screentime (it's not a privilege) by completing their responsibilities, including chores (along with schoolwork, healthy habits, and being a good citizen). It was a shift we made earlier this year and it's worked fairly well when we're in our regular home routine. It is tougher when we are traveling or on a school break. [/quote] This worked when mine were younger. Now that they are older teens the only thing that works is me threatening to cut off their cell service. I refuse to wrestle it out of their hands so calmly say I will turn off their phones when things get too bad. I did this to my oldest once so he tells the others I’m not joking. I’ve given up on them feeding the pet and I do it. I just want them to do the basics, like their laundry and their own dishes if they bake or cook. [/quote]
