What's underneath the habit?
Try This At Home
Don't rely only on willpower. Change the environment. If a phone constantly distracts your child during homework, put it somewhere else. If certain snacks are the problem, don't leave them sitting out. If gaming regularly runs over, agree the stopping time before they start. Sometimes self-control isn't about becoming better at resisting temptation, it's about having less temptation to resist.
