Teen Internet Addiction - share your experience

How much screen time is too much? When does a habit tip into something more serious? Parents share what's worked - and what hasn't.

There's no clean line between 'normal teenage use' and 'a problem'. But there are signs: sleep disruption, withdrawal from offline friends, mood crashes when devices are removed.

What's helped readers: phones out of bedrooms overnight, agreed daily windows rather than blanket bans, and modelling our own boundaries (the hardest part).

Share what's working in your house. The collective wisdom here is more useful than any one expert.
