[QUOTE="ksm, post: 718272, member: 12511"] I don't have much expertise for the problem you are having. Some small suggestions, at least where the iPad is concerned. Can you set a kitchen timer to give him signals to wrap up? Like the first timer lets him know 10 more minutes. Then the next timer is time to stop. Also, instead of no iPad use the next day, can you start out each day with a fresh slate? Some kids are just overwhelmed with the concept of another full day. Or try a tiered level of time outs... First one hour, second offense two hours, third offense, the rest of the day. Good luck. Don't know if my ideas will work for your child, but the timer helped my girls share the computer when they were younger. They would set the timer and take turns better, if I removed myself from the equation. [/QUOTE]
