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.

As a teacher, I advice parents to set ground rules and to do up a timetable for gadget usage. Explain to them firmly yet gently on the rationale of limiting gadgets- unhealthy for their vision, reduce their focus ability, and helps them to organize their day better. You may have to even put your foot in to remove the gadget completely. Sounds rigid but with proper communication and increasing the quality time spent with your teen, this problem is often resolved.
