DS isn't allowed his phone in his room. He would be on there all night.
His phone goes into the living room at 10.30pm
We can't trust him to do this himself because he will give it a good bash but it's 11pm before he knows it, he isn't checking the time.
Plus, he could tell us he always puts it down at 10.30 but how would we know if we are asleep? Do DH or I have to stay up until that time and we are old and tired, get up early for work or a million times to toddler DC.
Are we going about this wrong?
I'm open to suggestions. What does everyone else do?
I could arrange the internet to be switched off at 10.30 but that's annoying for rare nights DH wants to stay up late watching his programme, plus DS will just play on games that don't need internet connection.

Parents of teens. Do you stay up to make sure they get off their phone?
