My 5yo is addicted to screens? What do I do?
I have no clue what to do. I don’t have a problem with technology but it’s so bad my son if we are at a friends house one thing will happen with his friend (for example he wanted a turn with the basketball) and he’ll cry saying “I want to go home and play x”
I don’t want him living this unhealthy lifestyle. He will lie constantly and say “my leg hurts, my neck hurts, my back hurts” so he can sit and play video games. (The game is wobbly life he likes)
I just don’t know what to do. I don’t see anything wrong with gaming but it’s at the point it’s robbing enjoyment from other things in his life. He doesn’t want to go to the zoo because he wants to play his game.
I want to take it away, but he hasn’t done anything inherently wrong, but as a parent I can tell it’s robbing experiences from him.
What would you do? I used to just say no games until it’s dark out and then in the summer he would only be on it a half hour hehe.
But on the other hand, he will go on YouTube and just watch kids playing those games. My little one likes YouTube to watch blippi so I don’t want to delete it, but I don’t know what to do.
Plz help lol.
