In that case, the opposite should be done: you need to cut the "umbilical cord". Him doing well as a junior student at a university is an indication of him being capable of everything (mostly). So, he just needs to realize that, and take a full control of things in his own hands. So, pass the idea of tethering a phone to your _son_ instead! (and it is a physical tethering, not in the sense of data!) :-) E.g.

It just gets to me, as he lost more in one term than I did in my entire time at school. Apart from your suggestions above, I came close to superglue as a remedy.
