Anyone any ideas how i limit electronic device usage once the new year starts? My 11 year old DS will use any opportunity to sneakily check phone or i pad and i feel that this is becoming a problem. Homework is suffering as i feel he rushes it to get online.I have tried to put in limits 1 hour on a weekday etc only when homework finished and have always had a no devices in the bedroom rule when going to bed, but i get the moaning back saying all my friends are allowed to have their devices at bedtime, all my friends can go on their devices whenever they like etc etc - you get the picture i know they are pulling a fast one and i need to be stronger but any ideas on how to set these rules and follow through would be greatly appreciated without being hated! as i'm feeling like a pretty crap mum about it at the moment!
