Screen time battles with my 8yo are killing me
My son has gotten absolutely addicted to Roblox. I set a 1 hour limit on weekdays but he fights me every single day. Yesterday he literally cried for 20 minutes when I took his tablet away. I feel like the worst dad but I know letting him play all day isn't right either. My wife thinks I'm being too strict. Anyone else dealing with this? How do you actually enforce limits without feeling like a tyrant?
The 1 hour limit is solid, honestly. We do something similar and the fight is real. What helped us was letting our daughter pick which game to play BEFORE the timer starts, so she's not wasting time deciding. Also we do screen-free dinner time no matter what. Took a week but the battles decreased.
