For many parents, it is a no-brainer that teenagers and children need a curfew. It is a common practice for parents to require their kids to be home, within the safety of supervision, by a certain time at night.

Why Parents Should Consider a Digital Curfew For Their Kids [One Minute Feature]

But in our current digital age, kids can get into as much trouble over the phone or internet as they can outside of the home. Today, a digital curfew is just as important for your kids as a physical one.

1 Easy Way to Implement a Digital Curfew for Your Kids

Every child living under your roof needs to adhere to a reasonable curfew. These days, of course, parents need to relate those curfews to the world of digital technology.

I believe teenagers should have to check in their cell phones to a common area in the home by 8:00 p.m.一though there are certainly exceptions. You may have legitimate reasons for earlier or later times. But in general, after 8:00 p.m., all calls that Junior thinks he/she needs can be fielded by you. Not only will this give you additional insights into who your kids are paling around with, it will limit those frivolous late night calls.

Smartphones are off the table altogether. Junior can get plenty of experience operating yours, in your presence, if you choose to own one at all.

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
