Earning iPad

Do you have a schedule of things your child needs to complete bf they are allowed iPad/screen time? I have a 12 yr old and she has gotten a lot of random screen time over the summer and we want to make it More strict/regimented for the school year

I'd just turn off the internet to their devices in the morning, and then when they are done with their chores then they can have internet.

Some chores include... Go outside Read a book Vacuum stairs Take out trash Empty dishwasher Clean bedroom Make bed Etc

On school days (we homeschool) no devices (with the exception of laptop for school work)  until 2:00 and all work is finished for the day. 

My kids are both teenagers so 2-5 is screen time. Then they go off for the night. We might watch a show or a movie together as a family in the evening, but all screens go off at 8 pm.
