[quote=Anonymous]I think at 11-yo you can allow some. I never understood the families that restrict it m-th and then allow anything goes on the weekends. Everything in moderation is ALWAYS the best policy when it comes to ANYTHING. My kids are 7 and 9 and they are very into sports---so between sports and homework there aren't many hours in the evening. This helps tremendously. If they finished homework, read for a bit...and had practice--I let them watch an hour or so (often they only have time for 30min). If it's very close to bedtime-then 'no'. The nights they just have homework/reading and no sports (if we've gotten some physical activity) they can watch some Tv/play a game on the ipad. I think too strict is almost as bad as too lenient when it comes to kids. That's just my personal opinion. [/quote]
