Why you need the Sentinel NOW

There are many reasons that someone games to excess or spends hours on social media and misses out on important responsibilities. Don't let your child lose years of their life to problematic screen time.  Fortunately, the Sentinel Computers system can help like no other system can. It makes it easy to set daily limits on technology use, even for adults. 

Note: Use caution in the removal of your child's technology. If your child is depressed, suicidal or suffers from a serious mental health condition, consult with a mental health professional before attempting such removal. 

Problem: Your adult child is living with you, playing video games, watching videos or scrolling on social media for hours but not working or going to school. They keep making promises but don't follow through.

You know they are struggling. Others told you to kick them out, but it doesn't feel right. You know that despite all the bravado and defiance, they are not really ready to live out on their own. You have begged them to see a counselor but they refuse or if they do see a counselor it seems like nothing is happening. Months or years have gone by.

Solution: Give them a choice:
A. Give up all their screen devices in exchange for use of the Sentinel LaunchPad with agreed upon limits. If they have a powerful Windows gaming system or PlayStation console that can be locked up in a secure location in the home, it can be used WITH the LaunchPad. They must also agree to replace their smartphone for a flip phone. 

They must also agree to participate in some form of mental health or career/academic counseling.
OR
B. They can move out

Problem: Your adult child is away at college, playing video games for hours and is doing poorly in school. You are supporting them, they keep making promises, but still getting unacceptable grades. 

They played so much video games in high school that you were worried about sending them off to the university. Your worst nightmare came to pass. 

Solution: Give them a choice:
A. Return home and attend community college for the first 2 years. Give up all their screen devices in exchange for use of the Sentinel LaunchPad with agreed upon limits. If they have a powerful Windows gaming system or PlayStation console that can be locked up in a secure location in the home, it can be used WITH the LaunchPad. They must also be willing to give up their smartphone for a flip phone. 

They must also agree to participate in some form of mental health or career/academic counseling.

OR
B. They can support themselves from this point forward.

Problem: You have attempted to set limits on your teenager's game play but they have worked around the parental controls.

Letting it continue won't help. If your child has been missing school, not doing their homework, isolating from family and friends, becomes violent or seems depressed and anxious when they are unable to play, you need to act now.  

Solution: Replace their system with a Sentinel Computers LaunchPad system. If they have a powerful Windows gaming system or PlayStation console that can be locked up in a secure location in the home, it can be used WITH the LaunchPad. Replace their smartphone for a flip phone. 

They must also agree to participate in some form of mental health or academic counseling.
