How do you discipline your preteens ? She’s almost 12

Well basically my 11 year old is addicted to her phone . I don’t know who puts a belt to their child’s butt but I do . I don’t think it’s working although but also, I’ve tried the 2 hours of phone time a day since last week and it’s seems she’s still being ungrateful vs when I let her be on the phone 24/7.

Her bed time is suppose to be at 9 but I’ve been allowing her to stay up longer til like 11 and she’s had her phone the entire day during those times but that’s my fault..

well she’s been home since 230 today but it’s now her bed time .

I told her 30 mins ago to let her brother use the phone now bc it was almost time for bed and she had all day. Every time I turn around she’s crying and that does nothin but get her on my bad side . I don’t do pity parties .

There’s no excuses.

I proceeded to let her get the phone back for the remaining time after getting onto her for crying but she had an attitude and gave him the phone anyway and went off to bed . She only had 15 mins before bed anyway and I’m trying to keep her on a schedule so she can be up on time .

She cried yesterday when I told her to share her sand castle with her bro bc he’s a baby & it’s not that deep your 11.

I pay both our phone bill but she really just uses it at home. She lost it once already .. but the biggest issue is her being a cry baby and I’m not gna have pity for you your almost twelve.

I def won’t be taken advantage of either n gna tell it like it is . She barely does chores and def has it good
