What to do with a violent 11yo??
My brother is 11. I'm 18. My mother says he doesn't need therapy. He what I assume is that he is addicted to technology. Whenever he is allowed to play for an hour, he plays two. The only reward for studying or anything is electronics. He does virtually nothing but play or watch stuff. Doesn't play with toys. Doesn't meet with friends that often, and when he does, he usually also plays games with them. I have no problem with some gaming, I think it can be fun. The problem is, he gets violent when those devices are restricted or taken away. He has no problem cursing, screaming, insulting or even hitting me and my mom. He regrets it after, cries, begs for forgiveness. I took his phone today (he stayed at home because he had temperature in the morning). He got very violent. I have bruises on my arms now. I don't know what to do with him anymore. My mom blames me for taking his things. He lets him waste his life. He is 11, I can't hit him back, report or blame him. I don't know what to do, and it's still a few months till I depart to college. I feel so helpless and lost.
