  • As few years ago, when my son was a teenager, he had selective hearing, would never come to dinner on time, never do his choirs etc… all he did was play xbox and scream at his friends down xbox live until 2 or 3am… typically moody teenager!

    My wife got close to breaking point… I ended up creating a web app, that would enable and disable his Internet access, or limit his to school websites etc, or set a schedule for his access, which could be selectively ended when he’s good.

    I then brought a load of those Amazon wifi order buttons, and tied each button to a different feature… so she literally pressed one button to suddenly get him to his attention.

    To be fair, he wasn’t terrible, and always did well at school…
