Hi we have 2 teens daughter 15 son 14 We just hope for them to be the best they can be, enjoy life along the way and respect us. They are both doing well at school but S needs contant prodding to complete school assignments and revision for tests etc When he does the extra at home it does show in good results. D is a social media princess and has recently started going on dates but seems to be handling it all ok so far. S spends all his free time gaming and it seems wanting to get back on asap when we are doing stuff as a family etc. They both leave their devices on charge out of their bedrooms when lights out so no problem there but getting to the "actual lights out" stage especially for S is a struggle. We have a set time and give time reminders as the "lights out" time approaches. With S it's just a minute, I'm busy, coming, leave me alone etc are every day responses and I tend to loose it at times and end up snatching the device away. He has then looked at me as if I'm a madman and making me feel bad crying himself to sleep. I've talked to him about a balanced life many times and to have other interests and I have thought of restricting game time but I don't want to be that over strict parent and have him hate me. Any suggestions? ... View more
