Answer:
I can understand your stress. This is because he is getting very bored at home. This is the age for him to play outside with friends. This is not happening. Gardening, colouring may not be of his interest. Ask him to set a routine for himself and you can help him with it. Spend an hour with him everyday playing board games and talking to him. Praise him for his good behaviour. Also separate the child from the behaviour. Praise the behavior.eg..you helped me in the kitchen today..thank you. Give him a beach ball to play at home. Let him have boxes at home into which he can aim and throw the beach ball. Look at activities which can be physical and safe at home. Enrol him into online karate, taekwondo, football, classes.
