1. use timer
get a timer , explain the timer will go off once the time reached. Discuss with him how many minutes he can play for a day (i started 10 minute on weekdays, and 15 minutes on weekends). Once every one agree on the rule, go with it with very very few exceptions.
I normally ask mine to setup the time when he start playing (he is 3.5 year) and he will off line when the timer goes off.
He may protest in the first few times, but consistent on the rules.
2. don't lie to him.
3. introduce some kid friendly web site to him, like like pbs kids, disney.com... there are lots of educational web sites
4. for temper,
I tried the time out when mine is about 2.5 years old and it worked very well. He picked up the concept in 2 times.
I also use counting 1,2,3 a lot. Working for me too.
All in one, he is old enough now to understand the basic rules. So setup the rules for him and be consistent.
It will be very rewarding.
