[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid loses her sh** when asked to turn off electronics. It doesn't matter how many warnings she gets, timers, etc. It seems the trigger here is the screens. So the logical consequence is no screen for the next day.[/quote] +1 all the feelings stuff seems like drivel to me. The kid is NINE. Even if he his neuroatypical (one of my kids is significantly impacted 6 year old with adhd and autism), if he’s fine at school he has the requisite impulse control to not throw things/berate mom. Not super complicated concepts here. Op- take screens away from him for this behavior. Set up younger brother in different room with screen time if you need babysitter (no judgment, I do it too), and tell 9 year old he has to do something else for a while week. 9 year olds don’t really need a babysitter and they are not entitled to screen time.
