[quote=Anonymous]In some ways, it gets easier as they get older because they are more competent, have longer attention spans, etc. So do not despair. I have a 13yo and an 8yo, both girls. They both have iPads which they are only allowed to use at my discretion. I have them hidden in a place they have not yet been able to find. Basically, iPad can cons out for something such as Famiky Movie Night in Netflux if we are all watching together. 13yo also was able to use it tonight for a Zoom session with her tutor because I was on the laptop with the 8yo while she was doing her HW. Then, she “turns in” the iPad back to me. It is so much more peaceful in my house this way. They occupy themselves more, they find activities to do, they sustain attention. As my husband says, they’re “not weird.” [/quote]
