How can we effectively manage constant verbal conflicts and our child's moodiness upon withdrawal of devices？
Provide 10-15 min warning to complete whatever they are doing. (Screen time)
Remain calm, as harsh or emotional responses tend to escalate your child’s aggression.
Use consistent consequences. If you have given a specific time for gaming, stick to it.
Don’t try to reason with your child when they are upset; instead, try to reason when they are calmer.
