[quote=Anonymous]I agree you need to go cold turkey until he can handle it. I’d give it several weeks minimum. When you reintroduce it, he must understand that whenever you say to turn it off, he will do so without whining, yelling, talking back, etc. You have to be firm and consistent. I would also talk about why it’s good to limit screens. My kids all understand that too much TV or video game time makes their heads fuzzy or makes them feel cranky. What’s worked best for my family is no set rules (I don’t have a weekends only policy or 30 min limit), but they all know DH and I are the gatekeepers. If they ask to turn on a show and I say no, they know better than to complain.[/quote]
