I'm guessing OP is using Youtube to occupy her son while she works because she is unable to supervise him closely and get her work done at the same time.  If she didn't have a job, she could take him on hikes, make him read books, etc, but she is at the end of her rope and just wants him safe and occupied.  She's doing the best she can.  The Youtube is not great, but the real problem is much more complicated than cutting the internet access.  [/quote]

I disagree. This kid isn't 4 years old, he can take care of himself in the house even without a screen. The YouTube and screen access is a huge problem. Why would he try to tolerate school when he is allowed to zone out on screens and avoid his problems? If there were only books to read and paper to draw on and legos to play with I bet he would occupy himself for awhile and then be ready to go back. [/quote]

He’s a mentally ill MSer who has depression, anxiety and explosive rage. So yeah most MSers could take care of themselves. But maybe OPs can’t.[/quote]
