INFO:

I caught this moment where my teen son was questioning me about a phone limit I set on his phone recently— no apps, games, or texting past 10pm on weeknights. I didn’t realize it also included Friday evenings. I’m much more open and fine with him having screen time later on weekends. He uses the bark phone so there’s nothing risky going on— I just noticed that when I don’t have a time limit set or a hard boundary where the phone shuts off, he ant regulate his use and will end up on it late and be so tired the next morning. Sleep is so important and I don’t think he’s old enough to recognize & prioritize that. And that’s where I step in as a parent who knows better. I’m curious what your thoughts are and what your family does in your home with your teens & what their screen limits are for week days?
