[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has to give me his phone at 10:30 on weekends/vacations so if he is still awake on his own, there is nothing I can do about it.[/quote] This. Except for rare occasions, for my 15-year-old I impose screen-free time at ~11:30-midnight on non-school nights, unless we are watching something on TV together. (This counts as family time, not screen time IMO.) Phone, computer, TV, iPad, whatever stay downstairs. Kid can stay up reading or writing in his room all night if he wants. (He also has music loaded onto an old iPod if he wants music with headphones, but AFAICT he almost never opts for that.) He's always asleep within an hour. My older DS (now 21) OTOH has always been very self-regulating--throughout high school he always put himself to bed by midnight, 10:30 on school nights.[/quote]
