[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the idea that screens are very hard for kids to shut down, but this is more than that. It sounds like a lack of respect. If he is nasty to his brother, he has to do his brother’s chores or let him play with a toy that is his that the brother usually doesn’t get to touch. He has to pay him back for being unkind. The rude language to you needs a family meeting when everyone is calm, with his dad included. The effects of hurtful language should be discussed and consequences imposed immediately. He loses the screens, for sure, since that’s a favor you do for him by allowing him access. He goes to bed early, because he’s not acting like a big kid. He does extra chores. You also need to reinforce him for polite behavior. Ask him why he can be polite at school and not at camp, and why you don’t deserve the same consideration? And have his dad take over. You can just get in the car and go out for a while. [/quote]
