Children And Screen-Time
Don’t use screens to ‘babysit’ your kids. They are old enough to help you and need to engage. Get them to sit with you and help prepare a salad for supper or help to set the table etc. Help them to feel useful and needed.
It’s not only our children’s screen time that is a problem – it is ours too!
-
When we spend hours on our screens our children resort to theirs
-
We have stopped listening to our kids
-
Kids need us to make eye contact when we listen to them – don’t say you are listening while looking at your phone. Your children will stop talking..and you won’t even notice.
Are We Creating Empty Boxes?
