[quote=Anonymous]1. Put your charger where nephew can’t reach it.  Don’t give him access until he’s demonstrated the ability to listen to and respect rules.

2. Set rules.  Quiet time after your kids are in bed, respect other people (no jump scares, no reading his cousin), contribute to the collect task of maintaining the household — all the kids should have chores.

3. Cook as you would normally for your family.  If he’s not eating anything or complains of being hungry, take him with shopping or have him help you cook a dinner he’ll enjoy more.  It’s good for your kids to try different things too.

4. Give him positive feedback/interactions when you can.  I know he’s not actually a toddler but he sounds like he’s acting like one due to being passed around like a hot potato this summer.

The whole situation sounds maddening for you but hopefully you can give him some good structured family time for a week and he’ll either appreciate it/you or hate it enough you won’t get put in this situation again.[/quote]
