How to wean a child from a computer?

After classes, the lesson sits at the computer for days on end and plays different toys. My husband and I are at work and we can’t drive him out, I'm afraid that he will put his eyes on him. And in principle, it’s very bad that the son is no longer interested in anything.

There is a plug on the pc, unplug it. Disconnect everything and move it to a room your kid is not allowed to access.
Hand over books/games/toys etc and participate with playing with him.

Take child by scruff & haul outside daily for a full 15 minutes. Switch power off at mains if you must. (A pause to put on clothes & footwear appropriate for the weather is encouraged.)
Blame the Duchess of Cambridge for saying she does this with the princes & princess & it is therefore Royal Standard Parenting.
If you can deposit child in 'stimulating' outdoors - forest, stream, etc so much the better, but plain outdoors with green around is better than within doors.0
