Hi
My dd is 8 and since lockdown she has became 'addicted' to her iPad. She will go on it after school until I take it and hide it. She will then moan that she is bored and has nothing to do.
I let her on it after school to do her homework set by the teacher which is now all online. As I don't have time to watch over her for an hour she ends up playing games and watching YouTube. Then she will have to to the homework also.
This weekend she has repeatedly moaned she is bored as I have said no iPad other than for homework. She has really acted up banging doors and being rude to me and dp.
She has been really hard work and the weekend feels ruined.
Can I ask what activities you do with your 8 year old?
I am limited to what I can do outside but we do aim for at least one walk a day.
