My brother just turned 5, after the lockdown dilemma and us not giving him much attention he is now tv and iPad bound. Alas he lost interest in almost everything, he used to be obsessed about letters and would enjoy himself writing, colouring, or playing with stuffed animals. He now lost all interest. I (24F) try to engage with him more, parents don’t see a problem with screen addiction as long as he’s quiet. Yesterday he had a tantrum about his screen time being up, we started adding a limit about two weeks ago after he stopped going to daycare so he now officially hate me (tells me everyday). How to engage with his tantrums? I thought he was too old for them? I comfort him and say that I know he’s angry but I want what’s best for him etc. Is this ok or should I ignore him? He doesn’t like the attention so not sure if ignoring him would work. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3gzHxYk
