Had a major clash with DD12 about this on Monday.
School has been hard socially and so coming home she has been ruminating and reliving the traumas of not really fitting in every evening afterwards. She would procrastinate and have enormous difficulty in foccussing. Her distraction would be the internet - mindless pap almost every bit of it.
She was really rude to her mother Monday night - this had been festering for weeks - hours of screaming, hair pulling and crying later she was able to talk calmly about everything.
We suspended her screen time privileges. What a difference - a week AoPS alg ii bookworm plus online problems including the written one done in <5 hours!
Still wondering how to reintroduce screen time...
