So! School’s Out!
It also appears that the summer might have finally made an appearance – which in the UK is a bonus!
Our kids are now free to kick off their shoes and relax.
However, there are many parents who are complaining that the summer holidays have gotten off to a fairly rocky start already. Parents say that they are at loggerheads with their kids over … you’ve guessed it … SCREEN TIME.
This is the number one bug-bear at the moment.
The children, feel entitled to switch off, after what has been for many, a fairly stressful end to the academic year; and they are doing so – by switching on! And whilst the parents see the merits in their kids recharging their batteries and having a well deserved break – many parents are feeling triggered because their kids are “wasting their time on their devices”.
Well, rest assured – help is at hand!
Every Tuesday I release a YouTube video.
This month’s topic is : SCREEN TIME.
Episode 1 : I explain the merits of drawing up a contract with your child.
Episode 2 : How to talk to your child about screen time without yelling.
Episode 3 : Screen time and the connection with mental health.
Episode 4 : How to keep your child safe online.
Episode 5 : How to manage your child’s screen time so they don’t feel like they are missing out.
So pop on over and watch this week’s episode. If you haven’t already, don’t forget to subscribe; so that you will be notified every time a new video is released.
