[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If not, what is the reason? My 13 y.o. DS is not happy about not having his phone at night. He was allowed to have it before, but that was a mistake on my part. I want his phone charging in the kitchen at night, but he gives me a hard time about it. Asks for a reason, tells me he needs it for alarm clock, etc. I really want to stick with the no phone at night routine, but I realize I made it complicated at the beginning when I let him have it. How do I turn it around? [/quote] NO! No electronics even allowed upstairs! The way to turn it around is to set expecations of a rule change in advance to get him used to it. Tell him it was a mistake. Summer is coming. Say when summer starts, no more electronics in the room. He can have an alarm clock (get the Phillips Wake-Up light; awesome).[/quote]
