Whether we need a moment of sanity or a moment to get work done as alot of us suddently finding our self working from home. We start to feel guilty, like bad moms. It’s a big influence on all of us and instead of hating it we can embrace Screen time so it dose not have to always be a shameful thing. It can be a tool when used right. Technology and screen time will be an important part of our children’s future whether we like it or not. so it’s important to teach them how to use it as a tool to expand their knowledge instead of a place to pass time! It’s important to teach them to make healthy habits with their screen time. Experts have said that kids retain 50% more of what they learn on screen time when they was able to talk about it with their parents so just being present during screen time can be a huge help or asking them to explain and/or start a conversation about the app of show they watched today. Last week after willow showed a great interest in space and the moon, we used you tube to look up video of NASAs rocket launch. Willow loved it and it was a great refresher for my self since it’s been so long since learning about it in school. I got to drink my coffee in simi peace felt we both learnt something that morning. Our teen follow tons of influencers and celebrities and it can have a negative effect it’s true, again it dose not have to. Use it as a tool to talk to your kids to communicate and bond with them ask why they look up to this person and why they relate you might be shocked to hear what they have to say and where it leads. I mean you can you imagine if we was able to follow someone like Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn on social media growing up? We would also be obsessed so use it to try and understand them instead of judge them! We have the world at our fingertips now let’s use it right before it destroys us! I also feel mixing up our kids screentime keeps me insane so I don’t wake up at 2:00am singing let it go ❄️ See my next post for my favorite health screen times for all ages!
