Do you feel like you and your children are getting way too much Screen time? Distant learning, work from home, Ipads, phones, TV? Technology is a great thing but we are all spending way too much time in front of a Screen!
Does your answer to “How many hours a day shock you?” Read on for 5 Ideas to reduce screen time in your house!
1. Technology Free Meal Time- use the time to talk and check in!
2. Read- go to your local library and to check out books for you and your children! They may even have some reading challenges going on that you can participate in!
3. Crafts- pull out paints, crayons, and scissors and create art projects! Bonus you can make gifts for family and friends.
4. Outside time- did you know that the average American child spends around 25-40 hours a year in free play outside? How sad is that? I know my favorite childhood memories include being outside! I read about a family challenge to log in 1000 hours of outside this year- that would definitely reduce screen time!
5. Family Game time- I am sure you have many old favorites, but if you are looking for some new educational games SimplyFun has them available for all ages and areas of interest!
