Being the “mean mom” that I am, I took away my kids’ screen privileges for the entire week.
After a weekend full of fighting, irritability and being stuck inside with a little too much screen time this felt like my best “ammo.” Honestly, we all needed a reset. & It has been kind of amazing.
Instead of reaching for the remote after school, they’ve been getting bored and then getting creative. Building, imagining, playing and figuring it out on their own.
Turns out, boredom isn’t the enemy… it’s where the good stuff starts. Whatever season you’re in, do what’s best for you and your family. There’s never any judgment here.
Have you ever tried a screen break in your house? What worked (or didn’t)?
