Don't get me wrong, my 11 year old son is very athletic. Take him to a skate park and he will spend hours perfecting his scooter skills. He plays football for the local club, does endurance swimming, the list goes on...
Since he started high school he still does all the above, but compared to his mates in other schools, he doesn't seem to get half as much homework. As a consequence he arrives home at 3:30 and the TV goes on.
Unfortunately both my wife and I work full time and although my wife spends most of her week working from the study, she doesn't have the time to monitor his activities.
It also doesn't help, and it wasn't something I was specifically looking for, we bought a smart TV. He spend all his time watching absolute b@@@@@ks on YouTube. I've managed to disable the app, but the day after, I arrived home and he was watching Amazon TV instead! What that's also done is move him onto his phone or when he's worked out the iPad code, he's on that. In fact he's normally on a device and TV at the same time.
As soon as he doesn't have the TV and devices, he says he's bored!
It's like an addiction and it's driving me absolutely mental!
Help!!!!
