My Son who has always been conscious of his health and hygiene has over night it seems ( just turned 13) only wants to game online with friends. I have to remind him to brush his teeth wash face etc. He half eats dinner than will eat choc crap and I have to be on his case to say only have a few biscuits etc.
It's only me and him at home, I try to encourage watching shows together, going for walks, days out. He will come but doesn't want to. He doesn't seem to want to spend any time with me at all. I have to be strict on screen time and have limited it to 4 hours a day in half term with a break. Seems a lot to me but all his friends seem to go on whenever they like.
I'm just struggling with the change from energetic health conscious young boy to stroppy tired no enthusiasm for anything except gaming with friends.
Is this normal turning into a teenager behaviour?
He also loved to read, now will not pick up a book unless I insist!
Any advice welcome :) ta
