My 12 year old son has his iPhone since 11th birthday. I see his life is increasingly dependent on the phone. He socials with his friends in Instagram which we're following it; he does research when there's question about homework but he does many fun things with it too. Some of his friends do not have full access to their phone whom he become distant over time. He now has friends who have pretty much full phone access. For the past months, we're increasingly struggled to get him focus on doing his homework. He would watch videos and doing homework at the same time, to the point that for the past few days, he couldn't finish his homework until passed 11PM. In addition to the phone issue, computer is a problem too. School now requires computer to do his homework. But he would have video or game on when doing homework. Lots of times we can't even tell whether he is doing his homework or playing game we're not able to stay over his shoulder all the times. I'm thinking I need to install parental control app in the computer which I know there will be a "huge" standoff in the house when we try to do so. Any suggestion and experience to share?
