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.
