I knew it. The (white) crucifee is a raptor - look at the hands

I read this as a former child and never-to-be parent: Child got tasked with chores, got overwhelmed, forgot some or chose which to deem more important and you disagreed, then both of you had a short, intense conversation about forgetting things where child (kind of) agreed to reminders by you.

Why is the child really forgetting things? Just saying ‘probably ADHD’ or ‘doesn’t want to do them’ is not enough at all.

Why aren’t you teaching the child how to do reminders autonomously?

Why do the reminders need a reply? If the child is unable to do the reminded thing, applying additional pressure by requiring a unique answer won’t help. If the reminders are actually trying to confirm pieces of collaborative work, the texts are not reminders at all, because reminders are optional by nature. These semantics are important, because it completely changes the discussion.

I didn’t mean surroundings in a ‘Screens are bad’-way and more in a ‘Sometimes focussing too hard on a screen while not moving yourself can produce motion sickness’-way.

Visual stressors can be mobs, lag (Imagining movement that has not been displayed yet can be nauseating), unfamiliar controls and point of view.

This is not a very grounded list and it is probably not like motion sickness in its intesity is forever.

Be aware of your surroundings, ie there’s more than the screen around you. Reduce: Mouse sensitivity, animations, (visual) stressors.
