After school routine for 11 year old. What time screens off before bed?

[loopdeloop1654]

11 year old DS comes home, has a gaming session, then dinner, then homework, then he might kick a ball about for 10 mins in the garden then he just wants to flop and watch TV from about 6:30-9pm. I get he is tired from the first term and needs rest.

The TV is then on right up until he goes to bed. This is clocking up a lot of screen time. If we want to turn it off earlier we are too strict apparently.

I think kids need time to mooch in their own heads and time to decompress (off screen) as well.

They aren't allowed phones/screens in their bedroom overnight.

Do you have a TV off time?

Ours is 8pm. Then books only.

Screens off an hour before bed.

I only have an 11 and 7 yr old so younger than many.
We have always had a rule of no screens after dinner
This is flexible, we can all watch a movie together or eg Traitors

But generally after dinner there's no screens.
Not sure how long that will work for but it's a good general rule and easy to keep relatively consistent with.
