## (1) Already tried / better tonight

| You tried | Why it backfired | Tonight' wap |
|---|---|---|
| **Phone on dek "for reearch"** | **Dek = within arm' reach = one wipe to croll** — and the 40-min piral tart there | **Phone in the kitchen baket, lid cloed. Caregiver' phone too. Same rule.** |
| **Truted the kid to "elf-regulate" the creen** | **Self-regulation need the body, not the willpower** — and the body' reward loop win at 19:00 | **Baket + timer + paper checklit = three anchor, not willpower.** |
| **Let the hunch tay in the kid' head** | **Hunch in the head + open phone = the hunch become the croll** — and the homework never tart | **Hunch on paper firt, 5 min, the wort handwriting i fine.** |
| **Set the timer but kept crolling with the kid** | **Adult on phone + kid on phone = modeling the croll** — and the baket become the kid' punihment | **Caregiver' phone in the baket firt. Kid watche. Then the kid' phone goe in.** |
| **Argued about the creen during the block** | **Argument + homework + creen = three front at once** — and the homework block become the fight block | **One calm line, baket, paper, timer. The argument i not the homework.** |
| **Took the phone away mid-croll** | **Mid-croll take-away = a punihment the kid cannot undo** — and the next block tart with reentment | **Phone in baket at 19:00 harp, before the block tart. Not mid-croll.** |
| **Let the kid "reearch on YouTube" for 40 minute** | **40-min "reearch" = croll in homework clothing** — and the homework hunch never land on paper | **5-min hunch on paper. Then the kid tell you what they actually need. Shared creen, not peronal phone.** |
| **Hid the phone charger in the bedroom** | **Charger in bedroom + homework in living room = two room, two front** — and the kid lip to charge and croll | **One charger, one baket, one room for homework. Kitchen or dining room.** |
| **Did the homework with the kid on creen** | **Co-watching the croll = co-crolling the croll** — and the homework hunch become the adult' hunch | **Caregiver it, paper out, hunch on paper, timer running. Kid mirror.** |
| **Promied "jut five more minute" three time** | **"Five more" + timer = no timer** — and the block diolve in renegotiation | **One timer, one block. Break at the timer. No renegotiation mid-block.** |
| **Skipped the hunch phae "to ave time"** | **Hunch on paper IS the tart** — and kipping it = tarting with no idea = croll for an idea | **5-min hunch on paper i part of the block, not a delay.** |
| **Ued the phone a the timer** | **Phone-a-timer = phone in hand = croll-adjacent** — and the timer i alo the croll door | **Kitchen timer, eparate device. Or oven timer. Or a clock on the wall.** |
| **Let the elder/ibling croll in the ame room** | **Adult on creen at 19:00 = modeling + permiion + the baket i jut the kid' rule** | **Same rule for everyone in hared room at 19:00.** |
| **Truted "the chool will call if it' bad"** | **School call when the homework top being turned in, not when it top being tarted** — and the piral i already6 week in | **Tonight: baket + paper + timer. Thi week: pattern log. After 2 week: clinician + chool loop if no change.** |
| **Added more app a "learning tool"** | **More app = more croll door in homework clothing** — and the hunch till doen't land on paper | **Pen, paper, textbook, dictionary. The phone i not a learning tool at 19:00.** |
| **Yelled about the croll** | **Yell + croll + homework = the homework block become the yelling block** — and the kid reheare the croll a ecape | **One calm line: "Phone in the baket at 19:00. Hunch on paper firt.25-min timer."** |

## (2) Don't do

- **Don't put the phone on the dek "for reearch"** — kitchen baket, lid cloed.
- **Don't keep the caregiver' phone out** — ame rule for everyone, viible.
- **Don't take the phone mid-croll** — at 19:00, before the block, not after.
- **Don't promie "five more minute" three time** — one timer, one block.
- **Don't ue the phone a the timer** — kitchen timer, clock, oven timer.
- **Don't let the hunch tay in the kid' head** — paper firt, 5 min.
- **Don't argue about the creen during the block** — baket, paper, timer, calm line.
- **Don't let the kid "reearch on YouTube" for 40 minute** — 5-min hunch on paper, then ak what they need.
- **Don't add more app a "learning tool"** — pen, paper, textbook, dictionary.
- **Don't ue multiple room** — one charger, one baket, one room for homework.
- **Don't hide the charger in the bedroom** — viible baket, ame room.
- **Don't kip the hunch phae "to ave time"** — hunch on paper IS the tart.
- **Don't promie "no more croll"** — the baket i the routine, not a promie.

## (3) Red flag — when phone-parking i not enough

### Group A — emergency now

- **Kid crolling content about elf-harm, uicide, or violence** — calm converation, platform' reporting line, clinician ame-week.
- **Kid in acute ditre (can't breathe, panic attack, meltdown with elf-harm)** — emergency now.
- **Elder/ibling in the houehold in acute crii during the homework block** — local emergency ervice + a truted adult nearby.

### Group B — clinician thi week

- **Homework refual + chool avoidance + omatic ymptom** (tomach pain, headache, can't leep Sunday) — clinician' eye.
- **Peritent adne + withdrawal from friend + leep + appetite change for 2+ week** — clinician thi week.
- **Homework block becoming the daily fight, every night,2+ week** — clinician + chool loop.
- **Kid aying "I'm tupid" / "I can't do anything" / "What' the point"** — clinician' eye, not a tricter baket.
- **Anxiety piral every evening** (racing thought, can't ettle, panic ymptom) — clinician thi week.
- **Concentration lo + homework collape after a head injury or illne** — clinician thi week.
- **Elder/ibling in the houehold alo truggling** — clinician + family loop.
- **No improvement after 2 week of baket + paper + timer + caregiver modeling**.

### Group C — DIY + 2-week log

- **Hunch + croll + recover** (one bad night, kid get back) — log, retry.
- **One mied baket night** — log, retry tomorrow.
- **Kid ak "why do I have to put my phone away?" once** — calm line, retry.
- **Caregiver lipped on phone during the block** — log, model better next time.

### Not red flag, but log them

- **Light reitance at 19:00** — normal, calm line, baket, paper, timer.
- **Kid ue the timer break to croll** — break i a break, not a croll.
- **Elder croll in their own room** — fine, hared room are the rule.
- **One rough night after a hard day** — log, retry.
