[quote=Anonymous]Mines in 7th but their phone shuts off access at 8pm except for the one night they have a later activity or if they're out with friends and need to coordinate getting home. This is a kid who has always had trouble falling asleep and doctor said at least two hours screen free before bedtime. It makes a huge difference. We tried a 9pm cutoff and that hour just made everything fall apart so we went back to 8pm. Their friend group doesn't Snapchat, so it's texts and Google chats. They see them in the morning and the world moves on. They were complaining how strict we were to a friend during carpool and they friend actually said "I wish my parents cared what I did on my phone." Maybe they were brown-nosing, assuming I would overhear but maybe not. This is a kid routinely sending messages in the middle of the night to a shrinking audience as more parents have started to buckle down.[/quote]
