Phone/social media use in GCSE year

[bellylaughs]

DD1 is in yr 11 and had a mini meltdown last night about how much pressure she's under to do well etc. She's top set in everything and predicted to do well, her work ethic is reasonably good BUT she can't help but get distracted by the phone (snapchat etc) and I think if there's any reason she won't fulfil her potential it will be down to her use of social media.
Obviously she's too old for me to take it off her everyday but I wonder if anyone else has come to an agreement with their DC about helping them to restrict their phone use after school until homework etc is done?
I try not to put any pressure on at home and leave her to it mostly but feel she might need a bit of help with this issue...

We did.

School also recommended to the DCs that they made agreements with their friends as to when rest breaks would be for revision so they were all off/on social media at about the same time so they weren't 'missing out'.

(And no she's not too old for you to take it off her if you discover she can't manage it for herself. But agree better to come to an agreement).

During my son's revision for his end of yr 10 exams he voluntarily gave me his phone and iphone and demanded I not give them back even if he begged for them.

Perhaps a suggestion that she hands them over during HW period after school each night might work. I think we are going to leave it this term but then go down this route when revising for mocks which are after Christmas.

He already leaves all electronics in the kitchen at 10pm and his PS4 is on a TV downstairs so no elecs in the bedroom.

Yes we already do a 10pm handover of devices which she's fine with. Mocks at start of December here so need to get a good routine going! Will have a chat tonight and see how it goes.
Hadn't thought of agreeing with friends, sounds like a great idea, if at all possible!

I have agreed with DD that she has to give her phone to me while she does homework and revision. Last year she constantly argued that she needed it to listen to music while working or to check stuff online. This didn't work as she would take calls and answer messages an sin certain her work suffered as a result. It is just far too distracting. I like the idea of friends agreeing on study breaks.
