Controlling plug sockets room by room

[Mike Johnson]

Have you thought of giving him a Db meter and a limit he has to be below?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news... (no really I am !)... but it probably comes down to 'values'. Your 'values' are instilled in you by the time you get to about 5 years old... it's very early. The 'values' that are instilled in you at this young age often get amended in very late teens, but not radically changed.

So... trying to shape a kids behaviour after the first 5 years... is not at all likely. You might as well shout at the wall for all the good it will do !

I recall coming home early from school one lunchtime, as a young teenager. My Dad was home from work for his lunch. He just said hello, but I could of punched his lights out. Most be something in young kids hormones, perhaps!

Fast forward, my son drops off the grandson occasionally, cos he's terrorising them.
No mean feat for a 2 1/2 year old. Couple of hours with Grandma & Pa, seems to lessen his demeaner; probably cos we let him jump up & down on the furniture, eat cake & chocolate. But he seems fine, when we hand him back ?

They can't go downstairs anyway cause of the house alarm which is where the box is, think I'm just gonna go with WiFi sockets now, turning the sockets just turns off all the upstairs ones and none downstairs and all the smoke alarns are battery operated

Might get a dB meter actually

I never had a thought anywhere near thinking of punching my fathers lights out, nothing to do with hormones more to do with a mental attitude and respect for your parents.

I don’t need to do this now, cos my daughter is now a lot older.
But we used to be able to restrict WIFI access through admin access on the router. You could set a time schedule by device MAC address.
Note: if your kids are tech savvy they could get software to change/spoof their MAC address…

Perhaps your router has this feature? There are other parent control devices out there too. Like the Circle zHome Plus (note: beware of the monthly subscription!)

Yeah I already set that up so the WiFi goes off but he can use his phone data and tether the connection to get back online and his dad has the phone contract for him, so not a lot I can do about that one neither

It was a rhetorical remark. I don’t think of myself as being perfect though; like some here.
