A. Be stern and stubborn and don't give up seeing the melt downs. This is the right time u control screen time. If u r not handling it now then it will be very difficult later. Hug her, cuddle her and tell her why she can't watch rhymes all the time. Try to deviate her attention to some other toys or books. Get her more and more books like two books per week and try to gain her interest in books. You can read a story along with her and try to enact it like a role play to make story reading interesting. Come out with a plan and set screen times. Tell her that everyday eleven am she can watch songs for half an hour. At Evening five she can again watch some rhymes for half an hour. Get the phone or tablet back after the time ends(best to use DVD player instead of phone or cd or cartoon channels) and don't give her the phone or let her watch TV at all other times. You can handle this well if u r strict on the timings. You have to be stubborn for her well being. It's true that kids learn many things and improve their vocabulary by watching rhymes or stories. So you need not avoid it altogether. A restricted screen time will be a better option. Encourage him by rewarding him with stickers if he obey and follow the screen times aptly. Ask her to paste it herself on her cupboard or door. Tell her that after she collects like ten stickers she can get a small surprise gift which will really make her happy
