I have an oddly specific question. If you limit screentime with your only, how do you do it? Currently Mini, 7, doesn’t have a limit. I think it’s affecting his behavior and would love to limit it to 3hrs a day for summer.
The trick is he is up at 4-5am daily and doesn’t sleep until 7ish. He also refuses to entertain himself and claims he hates all toys and would rather scream and stomp for 8+ hours than ever try and play alone. I can play with him some but I really do not want to be camp director and have to be his playmate from 4am-7pm each day. He does not have any friends we can invite over (working on that) and there are no summer camps or any drop off activities that parents don’t have to participate in around our town. Moving is not an option.
This just feels like an impossible task that I desperately need to fix. I had siblings to play with and my best friend lived across the street growing up and Lefty while an only child was in daycare or summer camps or allowed to just watch tv all day so we are both struggling.
Mini has autism and adhd which also complicate the issue.
