Make it a Group Effort
Rather than simply setting and enforcing rules around screen time, find activities your family and friends can do together…without screens.
Whether it’s reading a book, arts and crafts, or learning a new skill or hobby, it’s much easier to replace screen time with opportunities for self-improvement or bonding time than to simply prohibit it.
Remember, the true benefits that come from reducing screen time depend on how that time gained is utilized. Connect with friends and family, exercise, read, play a board game, or plan a trip. Turning the screen off is only half the battle; it’s up to you to create the kind of habits that will lead to a more balanced, fulfilling, and healthy lifestyle.
