Help please, I'm getting more and more concerned about my dd. For a couple of years now she seems to go from one obsession to the other. It started with sylvanian families, then Moshi monsters, furby, monster high, minecraft. All day every day all she talks about is her latest obsession, she'd look through magazines/argos book/amazon planning what she is going to ask for birthday or Christmas, then before you know it that fad has passed and she's on to the next one.
It has got a lot worse recently as she saved up to buy a hudl and now she's getting up way before everyone else to come downstairs and play minecraft or watch YouTube videos about bloody minecraft. She would be on there from dawn till dusk if we let her. When we ask her to come off she either has a strop or teases her brother and sister, she can't seem to think of anything else to do and I feel at a loss!
I don't know weather to just let her get on with it, or give strict time limits for playing that game or make her go cold turkey! Help please
