Parents and caregivers can play a significant role in encouraging screen-free activities by:
- Setting Limits: Establish clear rules regarding screen time and ensure they are followed consistently. - Role Modeling: Children often imitate adults, so it’s important for parents to also engage in screen-free activities. - Offering Alternatives: Provide a variety of engaging alternatives to screen time, such as books, puzzles, and outdoor toys. - Creating a Routine: Incorporate screen-free time into the daily routine to make it a regular habit.
