Kids scream when you turn off the TV because screens are addictive, not because they're monsters. Set the time limit before they start watching, then clearly state what happens when it ends. The speaker shares a two-step strategy from her Parent Survival Academy course.
If you struggle with tantrums and rudeness when you switch off the TV, here are 2 things to know. 1: You haven't produced a monster. And 2: Screens are addictive for kids and they struggle with them being switched off. Here's a strategy that I teach inside my course, the Parent Survival Academy. 1: State the boundary before you switch on the TV. So, 'You get to watch 2 episodes of Paw Patrol. That lasts 40 minutes.' Then 2: Clarify your expectation. What has to happen when the time is up and the TV has to go off? Have a look below in the captions because there are some more steps for you to follow. It really works so well.
