We let him watch it all day when he doesnt have school. Monday through Friday he watches it after school all day after school. I guess I dont know how to be there for him. The toys I do have for him he doesnt want to play with them when its just me and him. He does play with his toys when its him and his dad. But he knows or always wants me to turn on the tv or give him his tablet. Idk how to be there for my son... any help?

first step is setting limits. it's probably gonna suck. he's gonna probably act out and throw tantrums, but you gotta hold the line.
to engage with him more, i'd say involve him. whatever you're doing -- dishes, laundry, cleaning, book reading, coloring (am i the only one who loves coloring books?). just involve him

the trick is to replace the tablet/tv, not just get rid of them (vould also try watching things on tv together and talking about -- more boring things that aren't going to hold his attention 100%)
