Ok my 15yo ds (16 in September) is trying to persuade me that he should be able to have his phone in his room overnight as he’s now mature enough... yes or no?
To help you decide:
- every holiday and weekends he has it anyway, we’re only talking school nights
- he doesn’t have many friends so it’s unlikely to buzz all night, and he says he’ll turn off notifications anyway
- he does have a long term girlfriend, not sure if she has her phone at night
- straight A student, generally well behaved, can be moody and grumpy but is 15!
- has never slept well but is better now than when younger.
I’m almost at the point of giving in. Opinions?
