[quote=Anonymous]It’s really really hard. Schedule and consistency and routine will help you get through this. Lots of screens is fine, but make it at predictable times that work for you. 1 show after breakfast. A movie after lunch. 30 minutes of iPad while you’re cooking dinner. Whatever it is, make it the same each day and at times that make sense to your 4 year old. And don’t let them change your mind or bend. It’s easier in the moment but will bite you in the a$$ later on down the line. Make meals and Snacks at regular times, not just any kid who wants a cracker gets a cracker. Yes we are in survival mode now, but trust me that structure will help you survive. Take two weeks to come up with a plan, introduce it, ask your kids if they want to help come up with pictures for the plan, whatever so they have some ownership of it. Then give it 2 weeks of work and I bet you’ll see improvement [/quote]
