[quote=Anonymous]I have recently begun allowing my 13 year old to sleep with her phone in her room on nights where there is no school the next day, because she wants to listen to music that's on her phone to fall asleep. I've told her she'll lose that privilege if there's any arguing about putting the phone in the charging station in the kitchen on school nights. I fully expect that by 16 or 17, she'll need to be managing her bedtimes and pre-bedtime activities because by 17/18 she's going to be away at college. I don't want her to go from fully-parent-controlled to anything-goes. Because we've been doing this, it has also been safe for her to say she does notice she stays up later when the phone's in her room, because she'll occasionally forget to turn off notifications and feel drawn to a late-night text. She knows I'm not taking away the privilege for that, so it's safe to talk about and consider ways to manage that sort of thing.[/quote]
