This is important. My youngest son Matthew was as you describe. I almost thought of restricting him from his room. I took him camping a couple of times in areas without cell service and tried to keep him busy. I also talked to him about participating in chores and family time. We eat dinner together as a family. Period. I feel that electronic devices are not necessarily bad things, but if they are used as a crutch or pacifier/babysitter it becomes a handicap real quick. Good luck with your son. I am certain you will get some great advice from PPBT, I know I have.
