Aggressive behaviour media addiction
How do I talk to a child who will not listen? My daughter gets agitated and tends to be rude in speech and behaviour when I expect her to stick to her routine. She later calms down and agrees that it would help her, but getting her to be responsible about her self and studies is proving to be impossible. Nothing can seem to beat the excitement provided by media and video games. For ex. If I do not repeatedly call her for it, she will skip meals and not even drink a drop of water till mid day.

Hello there
I can understand that being a mother, it is very difficult for you to grab your daughter's attention to her daily life responsibilities and care. You want her to get out of social media and video games and focus on her daily life. There could be many other reasons of her immense involvement in media and games that sometimes as a mother, it might be harder for you to understand. Don't worry, consulting a counsellor would be a good idea. It will help you to deal with this situation. You can also contact me if you need further assistance in this matter.
