[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some parents here have mentioned physically taking away screens during certain times of the day (I'm not taking about nighttime here, that's a given.) Does anyone do this for kids 13+? I feel that I need to teach her to self-regulate at this point, without physically taking the phone away. But maybe I should reconsider? I let my 15yo so keep his phone at all times during the day but he is better about parking it on a shelf when he doesn't need it.[/quote] My almost 13yo just can’t do it (self-regulate) it’s killing me, my 15yo is great. So, I do physically take away the younger one’s phone and game controller if necessary. Due to the pandemic, the younger one got a phone and tik Tok earlier than the older one, I think that’s part of it. I also just think they are different in that way, he’s had the phone since summer, it’s not novelty, but tik tok and you tube are endless and that seems to be the problem.[/quote]
