There are quite a few apps such as Dinner Time or Cold Turkey where you can restrict the phone usage. Dinner Time can be in fact controlled from your phone as parents. However, for long time solution, you need them to build habits.

I usually recommend my students to use the Forest app and it is not only effective but they also enjoy it. It helps them to focus on their work and spend less time on their smart phones!

Most students need slightly more than just academic tuition to get the grades that they want with less stress. Learning about time management, study/ revision skills and motivation can be very helpful. An emotional support team also plays an important role and this can include friends, study groups, parents or an academic life coach.

During the school holidays, it is a good time to determine what areas can be improved and how (based on exam results), come up with a study plan for the holidays and also pick up good planning and studying skills for the upcoming school year!
