[quote=Anonymous]Another mom of 2 boys - 3YO and 5YO here. I get it. I totally get it. I'm an only child so I'm a bit of an introvert and enjoy the quiet and this is all a lot to handle. Being cooped up, trying to work from home, not being able to see friends and family, not being able to go places we used to to burn off energy, having to tell them that their camps and pools are closed this summer, having to cancel vacations, it all sucks and is making it 23876503485x's worse. We've had luck with 1-2-3 Magic and 1:1 time. I tend to react emotionally and yell, we'll have a great day and then around 6pm these kids just get crazy and I lose it. And limiting screen time for my 5YO has also helped, he gets pretty wired when he's allowed to watch the tablet. He watches a lot of "gamer" videos that are obnoxious, but he really likes them so I tried limiting to 30-60 minutes a day, which wasn't helping. This week just blocked them completely, I already see a difference. [/quote]
