Help! How to engage my grandson who is happiest on his screen and refuses to do other activities without a battle. My separated son has same problem with him and desperately wants to provide a more stimulating environment. He is now in secondary school having been excluded a lot from his junior school. His reading and writing skills are very behind. We are not short of activities for him to do and both his parents have really tried on this front.
I am thinking if we can’t get him off his screen are there games that would be beneficial and advantageous for him. Also would additional professional help us to help him have a more well rounded childhood. It just does not seem very healthy and we are desperate to know how to help him. He is also beginning to gravitate to playing out on street corners and mixing with older kids. He has his EHCP.
We want to intervene before he goes off the rails.
