Some of the things your child will learn while earning screen time are:
- Being responsible
You already know that teaching your kid’s to be responsible is important. But, the key is to do it in easy and bite sized chunks.
Making their beds, brushing their teeth, and putting their dirty clothes in the wash keeps it really easy for them. And by having it on a checklist, that they can easily reference. You shouldn’t have to remind them a bajillion times either.
- Being helpful and kind
Teaching your kids to be kind, and helpful with others is so incredibly important. Dare I say, one of the single most important traits to teach our kids.
This part of the no screen time until printable is completely up to you. It may mean your child cleaned off a table, or wrote a letter of encouragement to their sibling. I guarantee that whatever it is. It will make your mama heart smile.
- Being creative
During Summer break boredom is real y’all. And, it can drive a mama out of her mind.
A sure fire way to beat it that Summer boredom is to get your child’s creative juices flowing. It could be drawing a picture, writing a story, or putting on a play. I encourage you to allow your child to do whatever they feel like doing that day for this task.
- Being active
We all need to be active. Our kids included. And, everyone can always use a dose of fresh air.
So, in order to earn screen time, your child will need to get outside and play for at least 30 minutes each day. For younger kids it may be a good idea to do some water or bubble play. Older kids can run around, throw a ball, or climb a tree.
You just want to be sure to get those bodies moving. And, bonus points for tiring them out, so they aren’t running around like mini torpedoes inside your home.
