Generally speaking, we know for a fact that our children are spending too much time on screens. Whether it’s for school, chatting online with friends or gaming, kids are spending a large proportion of their day absorbed by technology. With school breaking up for the summer and a few months of freedom ahead, this is the perfect opportunity to help our little ones to ‘log off ’ and detach from the digital world.
Many of us have forgotten how much value there is to be found in non-digital activities. While their electronic counterparts keep kids entertained and occupied for hours at a time, it comes at a cost. Children are increasingly reliant on technology and less well-equipped to entertain themselves using analogue methods. Taking some time away from screens this summer will help your child to slow down a little and reconnect with themselves.
BECOME A BOOKWORM
Research shows that children are reading less frequently than ever before. This is due in no small part to the prevalence of other forms of entertainment, namely a wealth of movies and video games available on demand. Reading is a profoundly important skill, and one that we should encourage our children to take part in. It can broaden your child’s knowledge while also helping them to relax, improving their memory and communication skills. This summer, try as a family to incorporate reading into your daily schedule, and watch as your little one reaps the rewards.
