Parents of teen(s), how do you handle or control the usage on computer & mobile gadgets? It's getting so annoying to nag or scream at them. When at home the usage is so long hrs hugging on the gadgets yet when they're outside a simple call or msges take time to reply back. It's quite annoying at times but how to restrict them esp during exam period? Cannot be taking it away from them too. Parents share your view & tips with me please. Thank you.

Teenagers are somewhat more difficult to handle as nagging hardly works. What I would suggest is to explain to them that during the exam period, their focus should be revision of work. Like what Yuna suggested, I would disable the wifi for a period of time. For example, wifi would be switched on after 9pm IF they have done their revisions in the day. HP usage will not be restricted, but they are responsible for any extra charges incurred. To be fair, everyone in the family will not have access to the wifi. Parents included. Just a suggestion for your consideration. :)
