Hi moms. My 3 year old (soon to be 4yrs) is addicted to the xBox. Because his dad plays and his big brother. When I say no or tell him to turn it off he screams, cries hysterically and becomes absolutely distraught. I know it’s much own fault because I give in to easily. Especially when I need to get something done. Anyone suggestions?

I think a timer is an excellent suggestion. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Hi Joclyn, we had the same thing going on with our youngest 5 going on 6. Have to agree with Dominique, the timer was the only way to avoid an argument or negotiations. I allow extra few min for good behavior or chores done. Stick to your guns mama:)
Hi Joslyn! Why not try using a timer. Set the timer for the amount you are happy with him to play and then let him know that when the alarm goes off that no more xbox will be allowed for the day. Also have an activity lined up for once his time is over. Create the boundary and then be consistent! It is difficult but you can do it xx
