Not strict as in beatings; strict as in limited screen time, set bedtime and morning call, curfew, chore schedule, healthy diet and mandatory regular exercise, no smartphone, etc. We have a 15-year-old son.

    Gen Z and alpha have more discipline than millennials and Boomers. I think you got brainwashed by idiots on ticktock or lemmygrad, you need to educate your child about the internet, but with 15 its almost to late for that.

    Both new generation had to live with all the bullshit the boomers and millennials dumped on them and literary inherited a fucked up shit show from you. You keeping your child away from reality will fail massively. A 15 year old absolutely should have curfues and such, I agree on that, but no phone? What’s next? No door in his room so you can see what he is doing all day? He will live with the internet his whole life and you fail to educate him accordingly.

    But from that statement its obvious that you just want to dump your wrongs and problems on others and blame them for it.

      First sentence is factually incorrect, as proven by teachers and professors who work with kids / teens / young adults and have documented their observations. Where did I saw no phone? I said no smartphone. Where did I say he doesn’t use the Internet? I said screen time limits. He does use the Internet daily. You’re arguing against assumptions made in your own head.

      Set bedtime… Morning call… Mandatory exercise… No phone… ETC

      You might need some parenting advice from other places that do way better than your place and the people around you. I’m not in favor of the BS some patents do where they don’t set rules at all but wow you take it way to far. This isn’t a the most extreme wins, patenting is finding a good way to raise a child and not a prisoner or someone that uses you like a doormat.
