She also said keeping the routine is a must even if it sucks for Mom a bit. Kids thrive best on routine. Also limit tablet time or make it be educational. My boys love board games and you can get them cheap at thrift stores.
I’m raising my grandchildren. It’s tough. Hugs to you. My daughter teaches elementary art and is a Godsend. The issue is electronics. It keeps their attention span really short. He needs something to do besides the tablet or phone.
One hour at least before bedtime the electronics need to go into Moms bedroom. The last hour he can watch a movie ( not YouTube or cartoons). Something to calm him down. He can choose to read a book put maybe play legos.
When you are there try playing board games. My grandsons are 8 and 10 and love chess and poker. Piker sneakily teaches math but we will let that be our secret. Lol
Maybe he can help cook or build something out of wood even make cards for mom and Dad. Boredom is such a problem for a generation that is used to instant gratification.
I’ll ask my daughter for suggestions. Her method w have always worked for me.
Something she taught me is not to tell but to bend down to their level and speak softly. If you want their attention whisper in their ear. It works like magic

Diagnosed MS. Feeding tube. Constantly hospitalized. Constant seizures. Will never drive. Has service dog. One year ago she was told her life is now about quality not quantity. She is now 21.
Please don’t take a chance with your child.
Schmecking is a word formed by dropping the first letter of someone’s name and adding the rest of their name followed by ing. Is used to signify actions unique to that person. I first noticed it around Covid lockdown time from my youngest daughter and her friends. I guess now it means truthteller. Lol
Dear Lord please allow our dear friend to find an inexpensive cure for whatever ails her. May you surround her with your love and glory.
Emerylde please try searching homeopathy and your symptoms. I’ve been shocked at the cures I find in nature.
Good Bless You.
