hi there... im new, I think ive posted before, once, a while ago....
anyway, my son is 11 and his violence and aggression has got so bad im scared of him. He is on the verge of being expelled from school and is facing the possibility of moving back into mainstream cause the council here are saying he is able. School issues aside I need to address his ipad usage.
He has it tied to his hip, when he gets dressed he has it on, when he brushes his teeth it goes into the bathroom with him, as soon as he steps in the door he has it.....
He wont do as he is told when he is on it, he wont listen, he is in a world of his own, he is slow and unattentive when on it... he plays games like minecraft and watches youtube videos about minecraft.
The trouble is, when we try to remove it or switch off the wifi he loses it.... there is no build up to him losing it, he would go from a calm 0 to a mad 10 in that split second.....
He has a lot of issues and a complete lack of respect for his dad and I and its about time we made him realise we are the adults and we are in charge.
BUT im not sure how we go about this..... ive warned him that from tomorrow things will change and I would like him to be involved in this change, ie choosing when he can have his ipad on.... but his response was a big shout of NOOOOOOOOOOO to me.. and a threat to beat me up.
We are going to make a time table with rules.... I just want him to stop being violent.
