I think your experience with your child is very common. It just goes along with living in this modern age...sounds like my son...looking back to the time his grandparents told me they were getting him a tablet for Christmas, I kind of wish I would've put my foot down then and said, "No, get him something else, Lego sets, books, not a tablet. Because now it consumes his mind so much that even when he doesn't have it he's thinking about it. Once we didn't notice he had it in bed and he literally took that as an opportunity to stay up all night with it. We found that very troubling! Give a screen free day a try! It might annoy the hell out of everyone in some ways but there will be benefits I promise!! :)
