midnight until 3am is a weird time imo. Midnight is way to late for a child to be up I started cutting my kids off at 9pm but at the router as I won’t pay for them to have a cell service and was experiencing the same issue with my oldest kid. Is there a way you can do the same thing for cellular signals? I guess my solution would be to just take the phone at 9pm. Also I would punish my kid for repeatedly ignore my rules.
- nelsondev 5y agoJust curious, when you tried explaining to your child the importance of sleep and negative health impacts of late night social media, what was the reaction? I’m curious what led to wifi being turned off rather than kid personally convinced to do it.
- acuozzo 5y agoNot OP, but my parents tried that back in 1997 when I was nine. My solution? I'd fake being asleep, wait for them to go to bed, and then sneak over to the computer room and turn it on. I did this nearly every night for a long, long time.
- progman32 5y agoI knew full well as a kid that poor sleep was bad. Between a night owl body and school schedules lacking any compassion or space for significant self development, I felt the trade-off was worth it. Kids are smart, and I've found them responsive when engaged with respect from an early age.
- AndroidKitKat 5y agoI know you're being downvoted, but when I was young, my parents were able to turn off mobile data between set hours through our carrier (Verizon Wireless). It might have required paid parental controls, but I don't think so. They claimed it was to make sure the phones didn't chew through our small datacaps at night in case things went down, but it had the effect you were looking for.
