How in the *&^^%% did you finally learn self-regulation? I've found with my older son, he is dealing with the same issues now that he's in college. When he was a minor living at home, I could do a lot of mom-regulation. He was also part of a tight-knit sports team that provided a lot of regulation to his time. But now that he's in college, I'm seeing him starting to founder in time management and am wondering what, if anything, I can do to help him not dig a pit he can't get out of easily.
I don't think my experience is particularly helpful here, since what finally solved my over-gaming was getting married and practicing law full time in a corporate law office.
Plus, I finally got sick of computer games.
In college, I had enough self-regulation to keep my scholarship, because the alternative was to pay for college myself through loans and/or work, neither of which was appealing. Although most of that was the fact that theoretical science is extremely easy for me.
