[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you let her use FaceTime until midnight?[/quote]

I am going to set screen time limits for FaceTime. What time do you set yours to?  Anything you can share that works or doesn’t work in your homes would be appreciated. The problem is kids do homework together and they’re all crazy, up late, it’s a manic energy. I hate it .[/quote]

They aren't doing homework that late.  That is what she is telling you

And even if they are, it's not efficient. [/quote]

OP here. Agree, completely inefficient.  I’m at a loss of what to do. I ultimately believe people are responsible for their own selves. I can advise, support, encourage, but I don’t want to butt heads all the time. It’s no fun. I need to learn to pick my battles. She already says I’m controlling  :lol: [/quote]

If she has access to her phone until midnight regularly, you are not remotely controlling. Be the parent OP. This is not healthy. She doesn't have to like it or agree. If she wanted to eat donuts and only donuts would you let her? Of course not. This is the same thing. Its not good for her. [/quote]

We give our kids tons of freedom. We think they need to be responsible for themselves. But we made the huge mistake with our oldest (now 21 and in college) of letting her keep her phone with her overnight. Our youngest is 16. Her electronics are all out of her possession at 9 pm. She has less anxiety and gets more sleep. Obviously they aren’t the same person, but it cannot possibly hurt to remove the devices. [/quote]
