Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley have implemented strict phone usage rules for their three children, Naleigh, Adalaide, and Joshua, after noticing addiction-like behaviors. Phones are off-limits three days a week, and on other days, access is restricted to after school until 8 p.m. Heigl reports an initial period of withdrawal featuring anger and frustration from the kids, but they eventually adapted and began pursuing other interests. Heigl emphasizes the importance of teaching children self-regulation and self-discipline regarding technology usage.
Heigl noticed her three kids were becoming "little addicts" with their phones, leading her to create rules for their usage.
Her children don't have access to their phones on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and only after school on other weekdays.
Heigl described the kids' initial reaction to the new rules as "withdrawal," expressing "anger," "boredom," and "frustration".
After adjusting, her kids began developing other interests, and she felt relief in their ability to learn self-regulation.
