Help. I have a 6 year old who has now been off school for 3 weeks. Dh and I are both working as normal (essential workers) so can't spend all our time home schooling.
Ds has gone from a happy child (loved school, never had a bad day there) to tantrums/back chat/ lots of tears etc.
He is getting too much screen time. Finding it hard to go asleep at night. No interest in school work, complete battle to get him to do any.
Thinking of banning screentime til after 6pm but some of it is educational plus I need to get work done. Not too worried about the lack of schooling but he is just fairly miserable, I think and that's what is behind the behaviour.
Any suggestions before we both crack up?
