Can anyone recommend a good documentary exploring tech addiction in kids?

[blueglassandfreesias]

Just that really.
DSD 13 (who has high functioning autism) spent literally 13 hours on her ipad yesterday and when DH said it was time for bed etc she howled with tears and sobs so extremely until her mother came to collect her. (At her mums she has unlimited tech use as far as I can see)

This is a re occurring pattern and I think if DH could see a hard hitting documentarty about the affects of tech addiction, he might pursue support for her sooner rather than later.

I just worry that her mum is an enabler, her dad is a bad cop and she is a master manipulator and it could portain to future addictions.

Thanks.

documentary!*

Does she need processing time? You could use a countdown so she is prepared for the ipad to finish. Either a visual 5 mins one.. Name 5 mins then ipad finished, repeat until 1..tgrn ipad finished.. Or verbal.. Have a box so she puts in the ipad in the box herself and it always stays in the box on the shelf (or wherever) do she knows it's there and it is there. If it's moved she'll not understand and that will be upsetting and she'll become distressed.

She might also need to know what happens after ipad finishes.. E. G FIRST ipad in box THEN brush teeth

Knowing what's next is important

National Autistic Society has loads of information.. Her addiction as you see it could be a trait of autism.that she feels comfortable with the ipad. It's her world. Thsts do different to teenage addiction

Thank you.
Yes DH gives her a warning and they have the same routine every night, teeth, medication, bed.
It’s tricky because while her ANxiety is soothed by screens, she also needs as a human being sleep, exercise etc and this can’t happen if she’s always on a screen.

Has Mum said how she works with DC to her he off the ipad and to sleep, go out etc. Might be that DSC is testing the boundaries a bit too

Mum has no boundaries.
