Addicted to the phone

Limit his screen time. Its not healthy especially at this age.
My friends son went through this and its gotten to the point where he doesn’t socialise with anyone and has regressed alot in his development

Set limits and stick to them. He cries and won't stop crying because he knows you will give in - because you won't hold your boundary. If you say no, mean it and don't give in no matter how much he cries.

Start setting specific limits - for example, no YouTube before you have breakfast / get dressed / go through the morning routine. No screens 2 hours before bed. Restrict to a certain amount of time every day, and stick to that limit. Have days where you do something else entirely and don't give him the phone at all.

You absolutely want to nip this now, because it's only going to get worse in the future.

I don't allow TV in the morning before school we read. Weekends TV is on, he's got a tablet but he forgets he has it and isn't bothered. He'd rather have rock songs on YouTube 🤣🤣

I'd start a strict schedule and time when screens are allowed and stick to it! He can sulk and be angry,, so carry on with something else, start reading a book or singing a song while you make breakfast

Buy a Yoto. Great for toddlers.

Distract with certain toys that only you bring out, don’t just leave out for him. I have big pencil cases with toys my daughter gets only when supervised. One with crayons (so she doesn’t draw on things she isn’t supposed to), little stacking circles that she puts in her mouth so only plays with them when we play with her). They feel like special toys that she gets super excited for.

Whe. She gets fussy and cries over the phone I say do you want to use your colors? And she gets excited and says yes!
