[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the response.

She barely went on the ipad at all pre-COVID, but now she literally reaches for it the second we walk in the house. She acts bored, but good god, she's in soccer, camp all day, goes swimming on the weekends (there now, in fact). We do keep her busy as much as we can afford and run her around.

Also, she has ADHD (diagnosed right before COVID) so I don't know if any of these behaviors have anything to do with that. I feel at a loss and I don't want to go full force into puberty without rules firmly established.

My DS has ADHD and when he goes off his meds in the summer, it's the same situation. A complete inability to stop himself from doing stuff he knows he shouldn't do. Establish the rules clearly (write them down if you need to so she can't say she didn't know). When she breaks them, consequences right away. I'd just get rid of any electronics for a while. At that age, kids should be going to camp, the pool, etc.[/quote]
