[quote=Anonymous]I read to my son until 9 when he would ask to read to himself instead of my reading to him. It was a nice time to snuggle and slow down. I could read him more advanced books that helped with vocabulary development and because it engages his brain. We played board games, still do, that helped him think about strategy and read and do math, great mental exercise and fun. We do ask him about what happened at school and what he is working on. School is important and we want him to know that we are interested, because we are, and that we are paying attention to what he is learning. We talk about what he is doing to expand on what he has learned or if it is an area that one of us really enjoys.

It sounds like you need to be using the screen time as a way to establish good behavior in school. You are describing your child as a handful at school who is having behavior problems. That is what you need to focus on.

My kid does well in school and is a pretty happy kid. He strongly prefers weekends and summer break because, well, who doesn't prefer weekends and summer break. Let's be real, I would love to not have to work and be able to do what I want, when I want, and chill out. [/quote]
