Good luck.My son is only two so I don't have much experience with older kids, but my wife and I have decided that the boy will not have access to electronic devices until much older.

But the thing is I’m sure your parents or if not your grandparents would actually say the same about the differences between their generation and yours. Indoor toilets, those new fangled electrical computers and not being bombed by the Nazi’s. Luxury kid, you don’t know you’re born.
I've had this my whole life (in 30s now). I can give you a few tips for managing it.We sometimes have hissy fits about clothing too. Things are too tight she will have to yank and pull at them to stretch them before she will wear them. Often refusing to change the next day. We spoke to a doctor about this and she has a sensory issue something she hopefully grows out of but i am not so sure about it.
Look at how successful YouTube is, these kids aren't going to suddenly get bored of it and stop watching, it's already a huge part of their life and influencing how they grow up.
as a high revenue earner, I use my new gucci belt to smack them with
Our daughter is the exact same, I genuinely feel your pain.
Unfortunately, you've asked for advice here and if it doesn't involve resetting her CMOS or lowering her vcore then the majority of these judgemental virgins will be no help whatsoever.
I'm busy right now, but will try to post later.
I think you deeply misjudge the demographic here.
Grow a pair.
Take away her electronic devices and make her read books instead of wasting her time watching Logan Paul make fun of suicides and PewDiePie amplify anti-semitic rhetoric.
Don't worry it going to get far worst when she hits her teen years
Self-inflicted pain
Just take her tablet off of her and put her to bed, after a few nights of crying she'll learn.
There shouldn't be any discussions at all. It's a no from you and that's that. Your house your rules and that's the end of it
Pack her suitcase and leave her with your most strict relatives for a week. When she returns, she’ll be far more reasonable.
True story:
We were out for a meal and my 4 year old daughter was drawing a picture. She says, "Do you know what it's going to be Dad..? Put your guess in comments".
My heart sank a little.

I beg to differ.
I'm on the grow a pair side tbh. I have 3 of them; 14 (b), 11 (b), 4 (g).
They can test you, daily, but they will spend their lives doing that. It's all about, for us anyway, ensuring they know where the boundaries are. I push them all to try their hardest, and the 11yr old is challenging at the moment at school. I said to him, my job is to make sure when you're an adult you have all you need to make it on your own. You may think I'm being unfair sometimes but that's life. You're always going to think that at some point. If they don't do as they're told, they have their stuff taken away, simple.
We make it known what the standards are and what we expect and they need to fall in line with that. It's our house, not theirs. They will have their own house when they grow up and pay for it. But as they currently don't, it's our house and our rules.
I think we're really lucky, as they're very good. We were reminded of this this weekend after looking after 3 kids for other people (friends of ours) and jesus... no manners, no please or thank you, just "Ross get me a drink" (he's 4 but no way in ***** that works for me)
While we're pretty strict on a lot, we're also easier than others on some other things. It's give and take. We show them we appreciate them following our rules and behaving as they should. We show them we respect them when they show respect for others and us. They like to be treated like people, not kids, and when they behave in the right way, they are.
Our daughter is almost 9 and it feels like mine and the wifes life is owned by her.
What i mean by that is day to day running of things is hellish and the older shes gotten the worse its become. I work stupidly long hours i just about make bedtime which is supposed to be 8.30pm yet the kid is still awake watching youtube at 10.30pm.
She watches too damn much youtube so much so its on in the living room, the bedroom anywhere shes flipping between its on. We try to take her on trips to the park to wear her down and suggest board games and crafts but during the week its pretty hard as we both work full time and my shifts can often mean i am not home often enough to deal with family life.
I've done things such as block internet access that works for awhile then i have to remove it during the holidays and forget to enable it again as work drains my soul.
All we get is answering back (sometimes comical where she makes a valid point!) But it feels like when its time to unwind she is constantly still on one. Up and down the stairs refusing to go to bed for numerous reasons usually revolving around needing a drink or dragging the poor mut up the stairs into her room.
It feels like sometimes me and the mrs aren't on the same page when it comes to disipline and in some cases i can be a soft touch due to being a kid and having a strict upbringing i didn't want to go too harsh on her.
But i just feel lately we have little time to do anything for ourselves. 8.5/10 times we adore her because she is an only child and has moments where she is a good kid and listens and now and then helps by not making the house look like a bomb went off.
Just ranting i guess. But someone tell me it gets better before the dredded tweens happen and she walks around as if the world is about to end.
