We don't need to tell you that the cell phone, its apps and media is addictive. Actually addictive, and it is harmful. It is amazing how young a child can be and already knows nothing but digital. What happened to bedtime stories? In my family, we tried to think of something different for the kids every day when they got home. One night we might have a talent or puppet show. Part of it would be making sock puppets or costumes. One afternoon in late spring on a hot day, we surprised our 4 with a squirt gun for each and buckets of water situated across the lawn. Then we had a shoot out. They loved it and used up a ton of energy chasing each other. It doesn't take a lot to create and have some real fun. Get ALL the family to put down the electronics and just PLAY.
Beach Music etc.
