Our eldest child has a phone. But it has to be kept downstairs at night - no tech in the bedroom before bed.

Hasn’t been a fight or a problem at all.

How old are they and since what age do they have the phone? What constitutes as before bed and at what age do you think you'll lift the no tech restriction entirely?

Daughter got her phone at 12, 7th grade. It was a Nokia but the thing broke so we broke and gave her an old iPhone.

Before bed means before she starts getting ready for bed.

The last question I don’t know.
