I feel they are addicted to it but not sure if there is much we can do about it. Any advice welcome.
DD1, 18 in a gap year. Got A star, A, A. Works part time, and is off to university in September, does her laundry, makes her own lunches, sleeps in until late on her days off, goes to bed late. I feel she has become more lazy and spends lots of time watching shows, she says she also reads books on the screens, listens to music. Doesn’t have any hobbies or goes out much.
DD15 has screen times, limit on the hours she uses on her mobile phone to 5.5 hours per day, off at 9 and back at 7 during school days; but uses the ipads after, watching shows or listening to music, while getting ready. She likes buying and selling clothes in vinted, It does seem to be impacting her as has been late yo school a few times in the last few days. She enjoys socialising and goes out more.
They seem to be constantly on it, they even use it when eating alone. Not when we eat together.
Is there anything we can do or is this the new generation? DH says they have to get over it.
Wifi goes off at 10:30pm and id back at 7am.
I think DD1 uses her data after.
Do I just need to let them be?
