When the kid gets all grumpy, let him. For as long as it will take. Just always have something else for him to do.
I’d suggest slowly cutting down screen time to 2-3 hours by increments of 15 mins every few days.
Like any addiction, there will be withdrawal symtoms and he will say alot of dumb stuff. He will try to rial you up, leave or even hurt himself.
Just stay rational, calm and persist.
There’s a time and place for everything. Even he wants a career playing that game, he needs to have balance in his life.
Though note his whole family needs to be in on this.
But for now. Since your just his cousin try to get him to do other stuff. Play basketball, learn parkour, baking, exploding vegetables, making memes, trolling the peeps in the neighborhood and etc.
Is fortnite ruining his life?
