[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. There are no issues like this with him at school, to the helpful poster who suggested he is on the verge of shooting a teacher.

They get home from camp this week at 230pm. I work until 4pm (DH picks them up and brings them home where they proceed to watch 1.5 hours of TV until I get home while he finishes his work).

When I get home, I generally let them watch another 20 mins of TV and then tell them it's time to do something else. So I did not turn off the TV in anger, but rather because after nearly 2 hours of watching memes on YouTube, it is time for something else.[/quote]

Children at that age should NOT have any access to screens that is not parental attended/controlled. Way too much TV time daily and we are a TV family. YouTube is kid meth. Our kids can watch anything on PBS Kids and a few shows on Disney solo but they still have to ask and we check-in frequently while they are watching. Im totally okay with an hour of Bluey and Wild Kratz on a regular basis but a lot of the shows are semi-adult cartoons and not kid appropriate. TV is the only screen besides a Kindle where they play educational games only. The changer/remote is not in their control meaning they cant FF and rewind for favorite parts (learned that lesson). Any TV outside of that has to be with a parent watching with them. [/quote]
