All this walking about with the phone is not normal behaviour. Not just for H but any child. Sorry it’s not. I seen Aimee saying in one of her videos sometimes children have to go places like Tesco etc with adults and put up with it and not be entertained the whole time. Yes aimless. I totally agree but that means no phones and iPads as they wander around the shop, totally oblivious to their surroundings and engrossed in the same programme they’ve been glued to all day.
Take the phone off her, take the headphones off her. Give her a small list of her own of things to look for/find and buy. Talk about prices, what’s cheaper, where things come from…..just take the phones off them!!!!!!!
The excuse is always “kids of today have technology”. Maybe so and I don’t necessarily limit screen time for my own but a phone for an 8 year old?? Even if she doesn’t text or call, an 8 year should be enjoying their childhood not glued to a phone or tablet. Poor thing couldn’t wait to get home to minecraft either. Does she ever play with actual toys? Sad world we live in now!
