Anyone have a teen who they feel is 'addicted ' to the internet / social media / smartphone? Our router is off overnight but she has data on her phone.
DD is 16 and I have started removing it from her for periods of the day ( at night and when something needs doing like oboe practice ) but she reacts really badly. So badly in fact that I know I am probably doing the right thing. If things do not improve we will cancel her phone altogether.
It's hard not think teens are wasting so much time on the Internet although I do appreciate they live in a different world from the one I grew up in.
