Both my 14 year old son and 13 year old daughter are pretty vile and I've shed many tears wondering where I went wrong. I feel a lot has to do with their obsession with their devices. Son is gaming all evening until around 9.30/10pm and daughter constantly on phone with friends or watching some make-up thing on youtube. Their behaviour seemed to have worsened since they had these devices - always in their room and want little to do with me apart from feed them, give them money, taxi them everywhere, wash their clothes and be their general skivvy! I have decided to get them back into reading books and spending some time in evening with me and dad to ban use of all devices from 9pm. They have reacted with a riot. Anyone else have experience they can share over such bans?
