[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5th grader- so far, so good. We started off on the wrong foot by logging into teams when in fact we needed to go to Canvas instead. (And, despite this being a DCPS device, it says that both Chrome and Firefox are not supported browsers.)

My DC has been engaged for the most part. Now on lunch break.

We are having a no video game policy until after school. Do any other parents have similar bans on tech outside of school during the school day?[/quote]

Yes, we’re going back to video games on weekends only.  They spent far too many hours playing over the summer (yes our fault I know) and need the mental break.  [b]We’ll see if they start feeling isolated from their friends and reevaluate. [/b] [/quote]

This is our problem. The phone is literally our MS child's only source of socialization. We just put restrictions on the phone so she needs permission from us first. It helps us to ensure school work and chores are done first.[/quote]

I hear you.  My kids have no self-control when it comes to video games/YouTube.  I was happy they could “hang” with friends but they rarely took a self-imposed break to do anything else.  If they didn’t go to camp I’m sure they could easily stay gaming from the moment they wake up until bedtime.  Admittedly DH and I could do a better job with restrictions, for now it’s just easier to say no during the weekdays.  [/quote]
