Google OpenDNS. Set your WiFi router to use their DNS servers. They will filter out all kinds of inappropriate crap.

The average 13-year-old boy will be able to circumvent this in about five seconds....

Not all 13 year-olds obey and they in fact goad each other on. Would be nice though.

The definitely goad each other!
Mine usually wind down between midnight and 1, so it’s not been an issue to tell them it’s time to shut everything off.

OP - charge all the video game controllers beforehand!

Do you use Verizon?

If you are so inclined you can listen for fart contests, online porn, war game online games, and truth or dare games with like minded girls.

Keep an eye on them so you can make sure they aren't looking at porn online. I'd rather have them play a violent video game on the living room TV than let them sit around with their phones. Lots of food, drinks and a tolerance for noise and rough housing.

Boy sleepovers are super easy. No drama like what I remember from girl slumber parties of my tween-middle school days

Just make sure there is plenty of food and video games available.

Take phones and put them in a basket by the front door so no one takes an inappropriate video at your house under your supervision.

Just let them be. Kids entertain themselves. Just occasionally toss food their way.

We are hosting a sleepover for our tween boy and looking for ideas as well as potential problems to look out for. TIA for any advice.
