Hello, VeryConfused. I had a similar problem with my children but what I did is finding them extra activities. It helps them to get engaged and, of course, the time spent in front of the screen is minimized. And, as in the other comment to this topic, I think that the rewarding system would be perfect but you should be very careful while implementing it. Remember that your daughter can get angry.

If I were you, I would talk to your partner. Conversation is a good way to share thoughts and just explain what bothers you. Of course, she'll always be in his life but if both of you won't feel secure in this relationship you'll both keep and expand the distance between you.

Sblack15, I would also recommend you to visit a psychologist or, basicly, talk with your child before visiting specialist. It's not normal situation and something is wrong, but it can have a deeper source than you think.

I'm really sorry, strs21.If I were you, I would talk with your son that everyone has problems and it's always good to openly talk about them. He has parents that will always listen to him. If it doesnt's work, you must contact a specialist.

I'm really sorry, Ilovemygirl. It's good that you talked with your daughter but maybe you should visit a specialist? Talk with a doctor and listen to his/her advice. It's very hard situation, especially when the illness is what upsets your child, but conversation is always a good idea. You can also try to pay more attention to her and show her that in this situation not everything is black and white.
