Created a Family Discord Server and It Actually Works

Weird as it sounds we set up a Discord so the kids can message us during the day instead of asking for their phones every 5 seconds. They think it's cool, we can monitor it, and it's actually cut down on the constant asking. My 14yo even posts memes in it and talks to us which never happens IRL. Not a perfect solution but it's been a game changer for screen time boundaries.

This is such a clever solution. Makes them feel trusted with their own communication channel instead of just demanding phone time every five seconds.

That's genius. Keeps them from losing their minds while you're actually able to get stuff done. My kids would probably spam it with memes but honestly that sounds way better than constant interruptions.
