My 12yo DS wants me to ask you all?!

Do you allow your 12+ yo DS and DD to have their phones / devices in their rooms at night?

No to free use of YouTube. I've explained about what awful stuff is on there , not details but just horrible stuff that can never be unseen. But I base it on trust.

Love the smugness of some of these comments! My DS completely has to have his phone taken away otherwise he would be on it all night, my daughter doesn't. They are different characters. My job is to support them both - it's not about creating restrictions. And yes. My son may well go off the rails. But I don't think that will be because imposed restrictions. He is totally the kind of temperament that might just do it. So please go away with your smugness as if you think it couldn't happen to you as you are so liberal!

Yes but they are switched off by 10pm and only used as an alarm. I have never had any problem with either of mine challenging that or trying to check them later than that. But mine are 12 and 10 so that might change as they get older and if so then I would take them out the rooms. Makes them too wired and then they can't get to sleep.
