[quote=Anonymous]If they can’t get through being told homework before devices without whining then they aren’t mature enough to handle devices on a regular basis. Get rid of devices for at least 6 months and revisit, don’t allow this battle to continue. If you pair removal of devices with forced homework in middle school you’re setting yourself up for much worse issues. 123 magic works for 3 year olds whining, 13 yo whining is another level. You need to deal with the screen addiction first, get these kids functioning without screens, get them on a schedule, and allow screens back into their lives after you have whining and other immature behavior under control. I’d bet money that having to do homework isn’t the only thing they whine about. Once they’re capable of acting like young adults you can discuss letting them earn the privilege of screen time back. Slowly. Right now your family can’t handle it. [/quote]
