Re: What does 'regulating screen time' look like at your house?
If you're interested in a cut & dry system that earns screen time, I recommend the Chore Monster app. You can customize chores, responsibilities & activities and customize the point values, as well as customize the point values for earning screen time.
Unfortunately, this did not work for my oldest who has similar struggles (as we've discussed before). If we ever left the house, if the day didn't go as it usually does, he would be so upset/mad/stressed out about not having enough time to do his chores to earn that screen time. And they were playing 60 minutes a day max, most days only 30.
So we moved to a different system. Do most of your chores with a positive attitude during the week, do most of your school work with a good attitude, and you can play Friday night for about an hour and Saturday for 1-2 hours. No planned time on Sunday, though sometimes we switch the days (depending on if we're getting together with family, church picnic, other responsibilties, etc.).
